The black wire (of a 120V circuit in your house) goes on to the brass screw of an outlet.  The white wire goes on the silver coloured screw.  If you reverse them the netural conductor of your appliance will be live instead of the hot conductor.

  I never heard that phrase used before. I wasn't expecting it to have anything to do with electricity either.

I didn't understand your question, SORRY! 

I spent  more than 25 years in avionics in the Air Force and  I didn't learn early, being an electronic technician is very different from being a electrician or a power man.. Lots of electronic techs get their butts zapped because they don't respect  good old down and dirty, ELECTRICITY ... ME INCLUDED!   A good electrician friend of mine taught me "black on brass" a number of years ago and I can't count the times it has come in handy, especially now that I am off the grid.

In the Air Force I learned the tongue in cheek version, "torque it  till it breaks off, THEN, back it off a quarter turn."

The expression of rage is good thing. Let it all out at a silly ball and club.

Then you can go home and be pleasant

I am a rageaholic. I can't live without my rageahol....

Its important for me at least to channel that anger and emossion into things where it can do harm and perhaps even be productive.
