Widdershins. Slightly less typing/syllables than counter clockwise.

Wow, not only did I have no idea what it meant, but I don't recall even seeing in print before this... :shock:

Widdershins? Sounds like one of Rich Hall’s sniglets. :D

There’s always CCW. More syllables but fewer letters. ;)

So let's see..."move the trimmer widdershins until you find the sweet spot"

That should clear up any confusion :lol:

But only in the northern hemisphere. If you were in Australia it would be counterwiddershins. :lol:

I didn't think anyone else remembered Sniglets, and "Widdershins" does indeed sound like one. I'll be sure to make use of that during my next DST notification, thanks Keith.

Speaking of Sniglets, I still have to clean the Krelm off my Mustard, Ketchup, Glue etc bottles because of Rich to this day. Thanks for mentioning that!
