I've always called that 'finding the proper edges' - should only properly be applied just before tea-break and the shout of "clear up your loose", ideally uttered by the same supervisor, as he/she returns their guilty trowel to their back pocket and turn away from the mountain of fresh spoil... :face-approve:
