It's from an unused conversation. I know jtr7 will be along in a minute with the precise one I mean, but it's between two Hammers. Something like:
Hammer 1: Ah taffing taffer!
Hammer 2: Speaketh not that word.
Hammer 1: Why the taff not?
Hammer 2: Dost thou not know that taffer is but another name for our olde adversary teh Trickster?
Hammer 1: Whoops. 10 Hail Builders for me then. Sigh.

Yeah. Unused and one-sided, but would've been the one quote where a Hammer/Mechanist said "Taffer":
HM1C0351: "Have thou learnt nothing? That name soils thy mouth."
...
HM1C0352: "Nay, simpleton. Knowest thou not...that to say 'Taffer' is to speak the name of the defeated adversary, the Trickster? 'Tis a corruption--a cloaking that acknowledges him without intent--and gives him an entry into thy thoughts."
...
HM1C0353: "A foe is best contested in the light, not the shadows! Allow none to so disguise themselves before thee lest thou slip into the shadows thyself, and so be lost."
Note, too, he calls the Trickster a "defeated" adversary.
