"pretty tight' is used on steering stem screws.
and then there's "I think i can get another UUMPH out of it!".. which is often found on steel ft. der clamps that actually deformed the seat tubes before the ham-fisting ended....
i found one of those a month ago... and somewhere in the garage is a fork with a crushed steerer tube... the top of the tube was flared from pounding too...
