Lot's of expressions in framing like that:
"We're not building a clock."
"There are no 1/16ths in a house."
"28 and a quarter, cut the line" (what line?
)(Measure the length, make a mark and lay the saw on the corner of the wood to square it up and cut. Headers and beams get a line.)
"Take a saw blade off."
And, "Just a RCH."

Never said otherwise.
