Mechanic is a term of endearment, meaning, you are a pro at your profession. It means that what you had said could not have bee said better. It was a compliment. Sorry, I thought that was a quote known by a lot of people. It was from a movie, I can't remember which one.usaftacp wrote:To a mechanic??? WTF???

The term "mechanic" is a euphemism for a methodical, technically adept and creative hit man.
Jimbo, calling you "a mechanic" was a compliment, and a good one. I think that I have to start calling you "the mechanic" as well, particularly after that story you told me about the titty bar and the wet spot on your buddy's pants.

This is a story for another place. Although, quite funny and entertaining I don't think the busboy would get it and I am really concerned that he would use it as an attempt to include it in his dietary menu...
