Bradawl
A bradawl is a small non-spiral boring tool. I can't think of a use for one right now, but leave it with me. I should come up with something over the course of the day. Speaking of the day, you may or may not have noticed that I've changed the time of day that I update this blog. Hopefully this will be more family friendly! I loved your meanings for bradawl by the way. Very innovative. Aviva is today's winner, by the way. Great work, Aviva.

A Bradawl is a bag which is used (or rather worn) by "Spidermen" - the builders who work on Skyscrapers. It is attached by a chain to the worker's belt, and contains tools, all of which are themselves attached to the bag by strong elastic.
This means that if the wearer drops a tool it doesn't end up hitting some unfortunate person underneath.

I think Bradawl is a a tool used in woodworking to leave a light scratch in the stock. Used to mark were to drill, the scratch left behind is light enough to be sanded out later.
A small-size bra. Contrary to the popular conception, the word is pronounced with a long letter ‘A’ - brar-dorl. As everyone knows the term dawl is a local dialect one for the smallest pig in a litter, the runt. Bradawls are therefore usually cup size A.
The annual gathering of men named Brad at harvest time usually only attracts five or ten people so named. Tradition has it that they awl go down the bar, get drunk resulting in a brawl. Hence the gathering has become known as a bradawl.
