Thought I'd put this n the joke section because it's funny,
Instruction on knife sharpener I just bought say
"Up the gray V slot of the sharpener, hold the rhombus protuberant part by hand, put sharpener vertical to the table top that make the nonskid soft rubber contact the table top well"
Perhaps some one could elucidate the meaning of Rhombus protuberant?

Kitchen Mini Knife Sharpener

Description Products introduction:
TAIDEA sharpener adopts two pieces whetting design, which increases the whetting speed and quality greatly. Coarse grinding part adopts high rigidity alloys, removing the cutter surface metal by cutting steel scraps to modification a dull edge. The fine grinding part uses special wear proof ceramic materials, which modifies dull edge more and increases the blade quality more. Super strong materials ABS in adoption in main body, guaranteed the product external appearance bright, and meet the environmental protection request.
The protection designs, adopting the middle V slot and adding double sides higher, be safer while whetting cutter.
Nonskid design is divided two parts; base design uses special soft nonskid rubber material, keeping contacting most of the table top and can't move. Handing part adopts rhombus salient point nonskid designs that cause safe handholding with small energizing.
Portable and mini designs, small volume, make use of space very well. Moreover, the easy taking and hanging bead chain designed; show the characteristics of the easy to store and portable.

Instruction:
1.Up the gray V slot of the sharpener, hold the rhombus protuberant part by hand, put sharpener
vertical to the table top that nonskid soft rubber contact the table top well.
2.Place the cutter (that demand whetting) on the V t slot perpendicularly; Make an effort slightly to pull hereafter the knife, repeat several times, till the blade sharper


Ideally for:
***** of all kinds of family knives

Cheers Robbo26, it must have been translation by google.
My motorbike manual starts one sentence with "Necessarily.....

[robbo266317]

I don't think google translated it, I think it was written in perfect Chinglish....

[Allan at Wallan]

After reading all that I can now understand
the instructions much gooderer.

[Gingermick]

indeed, but what the flamin heck is a rhombus protuberant?

[robbo266317]

I think if you read all the features from the site it becomes trivially obvious...

Handing part adopts rhombus salient point nonskid designs that cause safe handholding with small energizing.

[Gingermick]

thus it is proved

[tea lady]

I think Its a round thing that sticks out. Or maybe a romboid shape? What's that? A rectangle?

Sounds as though it was written by a dislexic Eskimo (say that quickly and sober)
Apologies to all Eskimos.

Isn't it one of those monkeys with a red bum??

You are very close Tim.

The Collins English Dictionary has Protuberant as, " A bulging swelling out tumour or knob".

When you add Rhombus it all becomes perfectly clear, "A pallelogram whose sides are all equal but whose angles are not at 90 Deg, or a dimond shape".

Sounds just like a monkeys bum to me.

[Gingermick]

but you can't make a parallelogram with all equal sides and angles not 90 without it being diamond shape, can you?
A rhomboid knob Hmmm

A rhomboid knob hmmmm

You are correct Mick, just giving the Collins definition. Your probably right about the second bit too.
