        Despite what happens in movies, defibrillators are used to stop arrhythmia and don’t jump start hearts back up. Arhythmia is when the timing/pace is out of sync, which is also known as timing retardation. Although we usually use that term for engines, it’s essentially the exact same thing.

    It comes from WWII soldier slang, so it’s more like if US soldiers named everything.

    Although a group of hippos is a ‘bloat’, hippos don’t float. Surely a floatie bloatie is a life vest!

  • ValiantDust@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    What I took away from this is that we urgently need to find the person in question and let them name everything. Alternatively the person who came up with the names in the post.

    Another point: why when shortened do they call them “walkies”? “You got your walkie on?” That’s the less description-of-use part of the name

        If you are taking enhancement requests, dropping the title of the video into the comment would be handy
