Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Razor and tie

👉 Razor and tie are both weapons used in war, but they differ significantly. The razor is typically a long knife or dagger made of steel or copper; it's sharp, often with a curved edge for piercing or cutting. The tie is more like a knot, consisting of a strip of cloth sewn around a shaft that allows the wearer to adjust and tighten the knot at their will. In contrast, the razor is typically used in a defensive manner against attackers, while the tie is more offensive and can be worn as an emblem or adornment. The word "Razor and Tie" comes from the Latin words "rēzāre" (to cut) and "torīb," which means "tie."
