Never heard “like a chicken with its head cut off” – I have heard “like a headless chicken” though.
David Hamilton Smith – (bright spark) October 15, 2016
I remember my late grandfather, [who was an engineer] showing me how to tell the different grades of ferrous metals by holding them to a grinding wheel. Soft iron would produce a dull orange spark, mild steel a slightly whiter forked spark and the ‘Bright spark’ would be produced by silver steel, or ‘tool steel’. Also worth noting that tool steel would produce the sharpest tools.
I’m not sure if this was the actual origin of the term, but it’s certainly plausible.
