"Hone in" is flat-out wrong. It's that simple. No amount of torturing the dictionary will make it right.

My best guess would be that it's weighted forward and un-rifled. The rings shift in and out on cams, much like 'actuated' piston rings, creating low pressure areas in the direction the little sucker wants to fly. Kinda like the dimples on a golfball...

This is a private pizzin' match. Don't horn in.

Quick question first? How come you can "horn in" or "butt in" but can't "horn out", just "butt out"?

Been to a college campus or a rave club? They seem all kinds of "horned out" in those places.

Fer you old electricians out there... anyone remember just how to 'cut' the lights on?

Not an electrician, but my interest is piqued.

No, but where I come from, folks "put the lights out" when they want it to be dark.

Yes, I guess that's how folks with gaslights and kerosene lanterns would say it...

I found some old Wilkins Coffee commercials, one of which had a character "cutting on" an electric chair. Forum appropriate, there were guns in several of those ads.

Wow - that proto Kermit was pretty serious about his coffee!

Does the term "cut on/off" have anything to do with a blade switch?

Wow... Nice why to put it all together. I was wondering if anyone was going to try to explain that one. LOL
