A didit is what you call someone doing or saying something obviously wrong out of habit or lack of any forethought. Something like saying "Where are my sunglasses?" when they are on your head. Everyone does didits at one time or another.
Today I was working with a friend cutting, carrying, and installing fiberglass insulation. We learned by experience two days before that it's best to do this with gloves, long sleeves, and masks. (I inhaled some fiberglass particles doing this on the first day, so if I have a "coughing up blood" post in a few days, you'll know why.) That's not a didit, just a learning experience.
When you're wearing those gloves and cutting thick fiberglass outside in the wind, fiberglass particles get caught on your gloved fingers, which, having thick gloves on them anyway, are already not very good for fine work. So, Adam got a piece of fiberglass caught on his glove and then, wearing a white mask that covered his mouth and nose, raised his hand and tried to blow the fiberglass off.
That was a didit.
