Wrenching
is a term that's so funny and quirky, it almost goes against its intended meaning - like a wacky version of the phrase "lockjaw" from Old English. Think of it as the opposite of "knocking off," which means to break or separate something by crushing or breaking.
A classic example sentence using wrenching:
"The boss was wrenching me around for some reason, but I was really enjoying myself."
This sentence is a bit unsettling because it implies that the person (presumably the boss) was causing annoyance with their attempts to manipulate or control someone else. The wacky twist is that the person being referred to is actually "wrenching" something rather than manipulating it, making the situation even more surreal and odd.
Wrenching
has become a part of popular culture in recent years, with jokes about people using wrenches for various purposes like cutting things or turning things around. It's a playful way of expressing frustration without sounding overly serious.
