More terms that Google barely knows about

What is the analogy of "ludicrous speed" for torque? "Bejesus torque". These usually refer to actual quantities achieved, although none in specific (i.e., attainable, but unbelievable speeds or torques).

"Did you achieve ludicrous speed going through the tunnels?" "No -- there was a guy in front of me, so I had to settle for 85."

"Ok, look, this thing shall never back out again. Go torque the bejesus out of that nut, will you?" "Alright, nut has been set to bejesus torque." (not to be confused with "jumping asian torque", which is defined as what you get when zagarus jumps on the end of a foot and a half wrench.)

i had to apply jumping asian torque to get my oil filter out ._. except it was sideways so it was more kicking asian torque.

Isn't the oil filter protocol usually "jab with screwdriver, become covered with oil, turn screwdriver/oil filter pair"?

my oil filter is in a little dish on the underside of my bike that's held on with a bolt that has a spring in it, and the old oil cakes on the bolt so it gets impossible to remove. and once you get it loose, the spring goes SPROING and violently ejects oil and oil filter cover everywhere.
