Don't you just love slang... so richly descriptive. LOL Ronnie. Excellent stuff. Whatever you choose not to allow to torque you, gives you a thicker neck... ha. It's an american expression. Don't know if you two are norte americano or not... n/incl. Canada.

: : This expression is a new one on me, 'Whatever torques you'. What does it mean. I thought a torque was some item of jewellery you wear round your neck. Does it mean to strangle?

: From an online dictionary:

: "torque \Torque\, n. [L. torques a twisted neck chain, fr. torquere to twist.] 1. A collar or neck chain, usually twisted, especially as worn by ancient barbaric nations, as the Gauls, Germans, and Britons.

: 2. [L. torquere to twist.] (Mech.) That which tends to produce torsion; a couple of forces. --J. Thomson.

: 3. (Phys. Science) A turning or twisting; tendency to turn, or cause to turn, about an axis."

: Pick your meaning...Germans and Britons ancient barbaric nations? *LOL*
