"Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a good translation of the term "cross threaded". This is when somebody is trying to put a nut on a bolt and they do not align the threads up correctly so that when you try to screw down the nut, it does not go down or you damage the threads on the bolt."

It wasn't me. :-)

Értem én, csak nem tudom kimondani.
