Quadrille
Noun. A drill that for some reason has four bits permanently attached.
As in: I was spending some quality time in the workshop, but everything went wrong the minute I tried using that ridiculously inconvenient quadrille (I mean, who designs these things anyway, the French; well, that would certainly explain the otherwise pointless "e" at the end, right?).
(Also, under no circumstances should you dance while holding a quadrille. Bad things happen, folks.)
