Are you serious about this? You've never heard the expression "tool"? I've been using this for like 30 years.

The etymology of the insult "tool" involves the word's use as a synonym for donk.

Really? I've always thought that "tool" could be used for so much more than to simply state that someone is bad at poker. I've frequently seen people on this board call somebody that they don't like a "tool." And does anyone know why people started saying it on this forum?

I'm not talking about poker. I meant donk as a synonym for dong.

I guess the Tool debate isn't over.
