At work, my default binding for the word "hammer" is "telephony test tool made by Empirix", and if I say something like "let me hit that with a hammer", then "it" is a telephony product of some sort and I mean that I'm going to run some test calls into it.

But yesterday, I was changing some hardware in a rack-mounted unit, and the slider got stuck.  So I picked up a hammer (the hand tool) and whacked the slider until it moved again.

I thought it was funny.  My husband would say that means I ought to get out more.
