Capacitor question

[Enzo]

We used to take our son with us to restaurants, and one day he told us he liked a certain place because of how he felt there, how it all looked, the general feeling, etc. We told him the word for all that was "ambience". Grade schooler, he was maybe 8 years old. Half a year later, he was at his dad's for a weekend, and dad took him out to eat somewhere. Kid told dad, "I like the ambience here." Dad was livid, returning the kid to us ranting about "how dare you teach him words I don't know just to show me up."


I had a waitress once tell me about some books she liked. I told her a title I thought she might enjoy, she asked what kind of book was that. Told her it was a novel. She asked, "What's a novel?" I swear to god. I told her a novel was a book of fiction, a story. She asked why I didn;t just say that then instead of calling it a novel. I told her "I did".

I been calling cap spooge spooge for many years. I don;t care if it offends anyone. I try to offend all groups equally.

And be careful how and where you use the word "Spuzz."
Reference the Urban dictionary definition at Urban Dictionary: spuzz

Wow! Am I ignorant or what? Funny thing is I did check the UD - maybe I used too many Zees...

Move smegma to #1 position? Hold on, a late entry "spooge" is now on the table.

At this point the OP is probably wondering why he had to choose this particular forum to ask his perfectly sensible question.

I used the term 'crowbarring' to describe a Peavey amp failure and it bought about a wry smile from my customer, then a snigger the second time i used it. The UD revealed all;"Crowbarring is when one homo-sexual slaps another homo-sexual with his erect penis across the face on a busy dance floor"

So that's what goes on inside an amp. I never knew.

Maybe your coworker had just been to an AC/DC concert?

I think 'Balls to the Wall' was sung by Udo Dirkschneider ?

I told her it was a fuedian term for being over meticulous to detail.

Sounds like fightin' words, I think you did a freudian slipper there

Yikes, with a name like that... but now I check up on it yes it's by German metal band "Accept" in 1983. Rattling around way in the back recesses of my memory, sure sounded like AC/DC. If they didn't cover it, they should.

Here is the real deal:

and I MEAN the "real" label: chock full of 80īs standards: wall of Marshalls, Flying V style "metal guitars", synchronized movement musicians, no solos but basic sustained riffs, **bunch of headbangers** which point to their (very accurate) version of "balls to the walls" ... in this case *wrecking* balls demolishing walls ... which is later accomplished by headbangers themselves just using their foreheads.
A very well made and consistent video

Sounds close to Bill Hicks' bit about the waffle waitress who asked him "what're you reading for?"
