    Was it a one off, or do you get to use it quite frequently? I see from your description that it was due to a surprise hospital machinery incident.

    When do you expect to next be able to say it?

    I used it most recently in the phrase “like some kind of improvised security aglet” (we were discussing wrapping tape or crimping a metal ferrule round the end of some metal wire to stop the frayed end from unravelling). That’s probably the last time I’ll get to use it this year.
