In our family if someone poured a very weak cup of tea - it was called Maid's Water.
I remember once when I was at work and it was my turn to make the tea. As I was pouring it out from the pot someone said " Bl**dy hell that's so weak you could read the mail through that!"
 
"Elbow grease" Fall for that one once, was looking though the cupboard for ages.
 
A can/tin of compression, box of sparks, the cylinder head plane , exhaust bearing, and how about a giggling pin ?.
giggle (jiggle) pin, is the split pin at the bottom of a car gearbox. it lets leaking oil drip out on. in a radiator it it lets air out
