hammer dialling

A telephone dialling technique that can only be done with a rotary phone. Rotary telephones use timed pulses to encode numbers when dialling, such pulses could be imitated by a skilled user rapidly depressing the hang up mechanism and bypass the dial rotor entirely. The name comes from the action and sound of the dialler hurriedly tapping or "hammering" on the top of the phone. This was done to save time as dialling a rotary phone conventionally could take as long as three seconds to input a single number. If you knew the number you were calling well, you could memorize the pulses and hammer them out yourself in half the time.

"Alan sure is on the phone often, he's even learned to hammer dial the Thompson's house."

"Gee, what would make him call the Thompson's so much that he's hammer dialling their number?"

A reversal so monumental that it marked the change in the markets and society.Hammer candles represent a day so good because it started out okay then got so bad it was horrendous and then reversed so hard the it was a major positive day.

Hammer-fist / Hammer fist

Noun (hammer fist): a striking technique where the attacker's fist is clenched, and the force is applied with the side part of the hand instead of the knuckles

Verb (hammer-fist): the act of performing a hammer fist

Khabib performed a ground-and-pound, taking the other guy to the ground and hammer-fisting the shit out of him.

(Including "hammer-fist / hammer fist" in parentheses because the Urban Dictionary won't let me publish it unless it's said here and I don't feel like using that whole phrase in the example.)
