"ratchet jaw"
Rachet Jaw commonly induces a condition known as Hatchet Jaw in those who are exposed to it.
Hatchet Jaw can spread from the jaw to the fist very rapidly.
Speaking of "Ratchet Jaws", the other nite I stopped at a bar for a beer.
The guy sitting next to be at the bar started talking to me. I wasn't really into talking with a stranger but he wouldn't let up.
After a while, I simply ignored him. He still wouldn't let up.
Finally, I got up and took a seat far away, too far away to watch the sporting event I was trying to watch on the TV over the bar, but, at least, far away from Ratchet Jaw.
After awhile, I looked up and saw that Ratchet Jaw was still talking and joking with me ... at my empty seat at the bar.
Later, a regular of the bar told me that nobody feels sorry for Ratchet Jaw. He is a hail-fellow-well-met and never gets tired of his own company.
True story.
