Without giving the wrong impression to those on the outside of the conversation;

I had recently helped my brother build a cabinet for all his Street Fighter / King of the Fighters / Samurai Showdown needs, and I'm explaining to him how to swap out and replace parts, and our grandmother just looked as us like we were talking about something very lewd and perverse.

Your current avatar implies that you don't mind that.   


If you walked into a room while two grown men were talking about polishing shafts and twisting balls, you might raise an eyebrow too.  Thankfully we had the parts on hand to prove it was something else.
