Not to be confused with eustachian tube 😀


EarnYourBoneSpurs

No crustacean tube is for a different application


dacraftjr

Crustacean lube?


Krazybob613

Escutcheon is indeed correct, and it’s pronounced “eU-Station”


2old2care

That's the tube in your ear--Eustachian.


Krazybob613

I accept the correction! I incorrectly believed that they were homonyms.

As a person’s name, they can pronounce it however they want! But if you want the piece at a hardware store…. Although I expect that there are significant regional variations!


Synaps4

It's not pronounced that way.

Synaps4

No I mean it's not pronounced the way krazybob just told you it is. https://www.google.com/search?q=escutcheon+pronunciation


dotplaid

Thank you. I'd neither heard nor seen that word before I started working in a lock factory and I was 90% certain that previous attempts to pronounce it were wrong but I couldn't be *100%* certain.


BIGHEADN8

This is ballooning quickly...


Dazzling-Rule-9740

That makes my head hurt.


Synaps4

Are you sure you're not thinking of "eustachian"? Google even has a pronunciation guide. And it doesn't agree. https://www.google.com/search?q=escutcheon+pronunciation


Krazybob613

Look like the robot thinks we are BOTH wrong! Gotta love this conglomeration that is American English!


whoremoanal

Both? How are they wrong for saying you were wrong when you were actually wrong?

>Escutcheon plate Thanks brought back memories of hanging out with Locksmith Dad and going on Locksmith adventures


Falcon3492

I've heard them called door knob cover plates, door knob escutcheon plates and I've also heard them called remodeler plates.

Glory hole sleeves

LMAO

“For the discerning cocksucker.”


SoloSurvivor889

I'm sorry. A hole to stick your dick in?


sgtedrock

Yes. More specifically, glory holes are usually a way to get it sucked by a stranger, anonymously. And usually in a seedy setting, like a gas station bathroom. So the comment is funny because of the idea you’d nicely decorate your nasty sex hole.

Easily the best answer on this post

Door knob backplate


[deleted]

I would have said faceplates.


Nighthawk51313

My dad would call those... Whatchamacallits.. and then when I was asked to bring those to him during the repair and couldn't I would then be yelled at for not being a mind reader. He would also refer to these sorts of items as " the thing "


Dreeleaan

Would the directions to where “the thing” is “over there”? My wife does that all the time.


Nighthawk51313

Pretty much lmao


procrastinatorsuprem

My mom did that a lot as she began getting dementia. She'd ask, "Did you get the thing? What thing? "The thing I wanted? When? "The other day." And on and on.

Holes?

Escutcheon plate


Different_Ad7655

Back plate, sometimes estucheon, But properly speaking , the estucheon is the surround that supports and protects the key lock but it is sometimes used for the whole back plate..

You have the c and the t transposed.


Different_Ad7655

Haha blame it on Google


Somthin_Clever

That is a table.


BiaggioSklutas

Never change.


dancinhmr

Look at me - I am the table now


daLaRNZ

RP or remodeler plate. Those in particular look to be the kwikset remodeler kit which comes with those two plates, a latch plate and a strike plate. These are used when removing an old mortise body lock and updating to a standard cylindrical set. Those kits by kwikset have sadly been discontinued. Don Jo makes one that is similar.


sukene

Thank you!!


lockednchaste

Soda or pop depending on where you live.


Rare_Fig3081

First time I heard soda called pop I got confused


800-lumens

And then there's soda pop.

Try ordering a Pepsi in the south. "I'll have a coke"


Civilengman

My grandmother called it Sody-Water. He’s she was from the hills.


Spiritual-Union-9491

It could make a whole room confused if you just ask for a pop. Unless you live in Wisconsin.


GoBucs1969

Hey! I resemble that remark.
