      Haha! My husband just educated me on it because I also did not know the reason: they are call boring because they incrust themselves on material. Is another meaning of the verb bore: to make by boring or digging away material, bored a tunne,l use a drill to bore a hole through the board.

      And like I say, I also did not know so good point that you brought it up :-)       Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
