Screw

A screw is a type of fastener, sometimes similar to a bolt (see Differentiation between bolt and screw below), typically made of metal, and characterized by a helical ridge, known as a male thread (external thread) or just thread. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a nail. Some screw threads are designed to mate with a complementary thread, known as a female thread (internal thread), often in the form of a nut or an object that has the internal thread formed into it. Other screw threads are designed to cut a helical groove in a softer material as the screw is inserted. The most common uses of screws are to hold objects together and to position objects.

A screw will usually have a head on one end that contains a specially formed shape that allows it to be turned, or driven, with a tool. Common tools for driving screws include screwdrivers and wrenches. The head is usually larger than the body of the screw, which keeps the screw from being driven deeper than the length of the screw and to provide a bearing surface. There are exceptions; for instance, carriage bolts have a domed head that is not designed to be driven; set screws often have a head smaller than the outer diameter of the screw; J-bolts have a J-shaped head which is not designed to be driven, but rather is usually sunk into concrete allowing it to be used as an anchor bolt. The cylindrical portion of the screw from the underside of the head to the tip is known as the shank; it may be fully threaded or partially threaded. The distance between each thread is called the "pitch".

Screw (card game)

Screw, Moonshine, or Popcorn is a card game where the players try to be the first to lose all their cards. Like Palase, it is derived from the Finnish card game Paskahousu.

Rules

  • The deck is split evenly and each player is dealt four face down cards and eight hand cards. Each player chooses four of their hand cards to place face up over the face down cards: one face up card on each face down card.
  • Now each player has four hand cards. The player with the lowest hand card plays that card in the center. The next person may now play a card equal to or higher in value than the last played. Each player draws one card from the remaining deck each time they play a card. Multiple cards may be played at a time as long as they are the same value.
  • If someone cannot play on the central pile, they must pick up the pile and then play any value of their choosing.
  • once the deck runs out players may not pick up anymore cards but must utilize the cards in their hands or pick up the deck.
  • A 2 is a special card; it is not a low card. Instead, a 2 "neutralizes" the value of the pile, allowing the next person to play any value card they want on the pile.
  • Chopped and screwed

    Chopped and screwed (sometimes called screwed and chopped or slowed and throwed) refers to a technique of remixing hip hop music which developed in the Houston hip hop scene in the 1990s. This is accomplished by slowing the tempo down to between 60 and 70 quarter-note beats per minute and applying techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and affecting portions of the music to make a "chopped-up" version of the original. DJ Screw is largely recognized as the innovator behind the chopped and screwed genre. DJ Screw's key technique involved playing the same record on both turntables with a delay between them of one beat, and quickly moving the crossfader side to side. This created an effect where words or sounds would be repeated in the music but would still keep the tempo going. A subgenre called ChopNotSlop created by hailmasch"hailmasch has received major attention via Drake's album and the Houston music scene started by SUC.

    Screw

    by: The Cure

    When you screw up your eyes
    When you screw up your face
    When you throw out your arms
    And keep changing your shape
    Taste the taste in your mouth
    Taste the taste on your tongue
    On the film on your eyes of what I've become
    What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
    What do I do when you screw up your face?
    What do I do
    When you throw out your arms
    Fall on the floor
    And keep changing your shape?
    Jump right into your mouth?
    Jump around on your tongue?
    And the film on your eyes of the way I've become
    Makes me sick at the way that I try
    Anything in the world
    To impress that I'm doing this
    Only for you
