Non native English speaker here. So I get that a screwdriver is vodka + orange juice. And I get he is drinking it out of Phillips skull. Still don't get the punchline.
This is a Phillip's Head Screwdriver:
Thanks, never heard that name before. In my mother tongue it goes by the simple name of 'Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher' and that is no joke.
Hehehe, German's have the best name for things. Amazing
They take existing words and slap them together to make new ones. For example, a turtle is a shield toad and gloves are hand shoes.
and that name actually makes sense, like EVERYTHING in Deutsch! because it is a 'Cross Slotted Screwdriver'.. in ~~English~~ American, we venerate Mr. Phillips every single day, amen.. whoever he was..
I recently learned of the existence of Frearson; like the Philips but without the slightly rounded inside corners.
I've never heard of such a thing. The things you learn in Risa!!

Sometimes it itches, but it's manageable.
