HALF AND HALF
Half Arsed
We've all heard the phrase that something was done "half-a$$ed," but few people stop to wonder what such a ridiculous expression could possibly mean. The term "half-a$$ed" evolved from "half-adz." An adz is an axelike tool with a curved blade used for shaping wood. If you were wealthy and paid top-dollar for a new fireplace, the mantle would be shaped using an adz in the front as well as the back side, which isn't visible. However, if you weren't wealthy and wanted to save money, you could have only the front visible portion of the mantle shaped, this cheaper job being a "half-adz" job.
Yeah, I don't have an adz in my tool collection. So you won't see one in the picture.
