"mo' betta" being a unit of measurement in precision engineering, and "boogering up" being an engineering term for the result of using something outside of its design parameters.

I'm a big fan of Torx screws for exactly the reason listed in the Wiki article. I've never had a Torx screwdriver slip and scratch anything. I can't say the same thing about flat or Phillips screws.

By the same token, I hate Allen screws. They don't cam out, but both the screws and wrenches get rounded off and won't work right.

Torx is the best of both worlds. They just don't slip, in my experience. YMMV
