Joggle and Joggle

We all know the verb "joggle" as the simultaneous action of juggling and jogging, but did you know "joggle" is also an architecture term? According to my Illustrated Dictionary of Historic Architecture, a "joggle" is
a notch or projection in one piece of material which is fitted to a projection or notch in a second piece to prevent one piece from slipping on the other.
Hmm. Rest assured I will casually introduce "joggle" into a conversation with a coworker tomorrow. See the link for an illustration.

Don't forget the joggling board.

But joggling will always be joggling to me.
