i always thought that was a hair removal term ...<<

Geez, I always thought the reason to grease the threads was to keep hair

That works, as evidenced by the fact that not much hair grows on my greasy
scalp.

Never mind, this thread is growing hairier by the minute...

What's the term that is used to describe the process when, over time,
dissimilar metals in fasteners bond together? It's not fretting, I don't
think.
