[German name Fickeisen]
How did *that* name come about?
The german (well
indogerman, so englich too) word "ficken" in its
original sense means "moving forward and backward" or to grind, rub,
sweep, brush. So a "Fickeisen" would be a tool made of iron like a file.
If you can read German: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficken
