On Nomenclature

Currently watching a British comedy horror movie called Severance, set on a 'team buidling weekend' for a group of people who work for a company that makes weapons. They're not at the right lodge, and there's someone stalking and killing them.

The survivors at this point have holed up back in the lodge, having lost another couple of their number when the coach they were trying to escape in crashed, and separated them.

One of the group suggests barricading the doors and windows, and another points out that would be difficult, as they have no way of securing the barricades. One of them suggests looking in the bag brought by another member of their group, who recently lost his lower leg to a beartrap.

"Well, he's not gonna have a hammer an' nails in there, is 'e?" asks Danny Dyer's character.

The character played by Laura Harris tips out the bag, and picks up a hammer and a bag of nails.

What's the name of the guy who packed a hammer and nails for a team building weekend?

Gordon.

Yeah, that'd be about right. Your honour, I rest my case.
