I found this as a definition for twisty in the urban dictionary as I had to look it up. Don't know if it applies.

6. Twisty

A retarded person/someone who has Down's Syndrome.
Man, she works at that place that takes care of all the twisty's.

Slather the hitch in marine grease before inserting into the receiver. I have had the hitch in my Toyota for the last 10yrs, a little grease has always kept it from rusting in place...

Those dmi hitches are worth it on the farm. Usually have to relocate the spare tire, but a small price to pay. Pull a wagon without one and seems like the whole receiver is coming off.

You mean everyone doesn't keep their spare in the bed?
