eevblog is a good youtube channel with interesting stuff about electronics but holy crap the fact that "tr*nny" is australian EE slang for transistor really grates sometimes

@CoronaCoreanici ugh
re: censored transphobic slur, but not being used as such
@mell Seems to only be in Australian usage that we've seen? Certainly no engineer we know in the US uses it, and we know a fair few

@Felthry and also here in America people call car transmissions that as well

@ticky is it? we don't know any other australian engineers
re: censored transphobic slur, but not being used as such
@Felthry he’s straight up the only one who I’ve seen use it compulsively, and he’s been asked to reconsider it repeatedly and never even acknowledged it lmao

@Felthry this is also fun when you're into cars and people constantly use that word for transmissions.
by that I mean not fun at all. I had no idea this was happening with other words too.
