"Boob Tube?" I may have to look a little closer. It sounds as though I may have missed something: Or did you mean erroneous?

Boob:
- a stupid awkward person: simpleton.
- boor, philistine - compared to the civilised and educated European, the American seemed a boob.
Boob (British):
- mistake or blunder.
- goof (verb) - realised that he had boobed by paying too much.

"erroneous" would be close. Originally Posted by GraemeCook

more about the boob tube
Hi all,
I too saw the video about the explanation of the saw nib...
I need not add anymore to what has been said...
But, after viewing that clip I then did a search on "hand saw restoration"
and boy did that throw up a gazillion boobs, all pushing their marvelous ways
to mar and bugger up perfectly good saws....
Graham.
