At the first days of planning their Moon landing, NASA came out with lithobraking for the times the capsule wouldn’t slow down enough.
Then, some 20 and something years lather, when planing their Mars landers, they decided that no, lithobraking is a perfectly fine thing to do and the landers would use it by design.
So be wary of rocket scientists making jokes.

Or ‘I dunno what was wrong, but banging it helped’ as ‘percussive maintenance’.
