Yesterday I was thinking about the phrase 'pre-drilled hole'. When you think about it they all pre-drilled - it's just a case of who does the pre-drilling.
My trousers once caught fire as I was driving through Brighouse one day. It turned out that it was two hearing aid batteries I had in my pocket had somehow caused a spark that ignited the fabric. It was a frightening experience which has scarred me for life.
If we can have pre drilled holes, then surely you can have a post-drilled hole? The thought of of pre and post hole opens up some wonderful opportunities for further confusing the language.

That's what they do when you try to run applications not purchased from the Apple store.... ;)
