Acronym for Resistor color code 2

[bogeyman]

I once and only once saw that the number posters in the induction class at our daughters school used the correct rcc for each number this was 30 years ago, she is not at all interested in wires but she knows the colours.
I wish every engineering type did.

HAHAHAH LOL lol <roll around on the floor>

Seriously - the original totally Politically inCorrect one works better than any other I've ever heard, partly because it is so thoroughly non-PC. And if you come right down to it, it's far tamer than half the garbage on TV at prime time these days.

I just use the one " FlukeWithALeadOnEachEndoftheResistor".

OK , not funny. Somebody send me the "one Best left forgotten". I need a new way to offend my QC/electronic repair guy at work.

Thanks,
Scott

and fries would be graet Scotty!

In a hundred years, it isn't going to matter anyway.

My instructor used the "Bad Boys" one, but used the word "Ravaged" instead of raped. It was less offensive (I guess).

I thought only little boys (of all ages) played with resistors?

 

[IRstuff]

Big boys play with bigger resistors ;-)

If anyone recalls collecting green stamps, we learned that "violet gives with green stamps".

Off topic tangent...
I remember Green Stamps, and Blue Chip stamps. And how the taste of the glue was great when you started out, but you hated it after about 5 licks and switched to a sponge to wet them. My Dad used to go to gas stations that gave out Green Stamps because his company paid for the gas, but we got to keep the stamps. I got my first bike with the Green Stamps I saved up, 40 books IIRC.

It must have been many years ago, but I have recollection that someone once handed me a newly-manufactured circuit card and asked me to help figure why it didn't work. I glanced at it for about one second, pointed to a resistor and said 'that resistor is the wrong value.' I was right. They were amazed.

The resistors on that card were normally all marked with only the darker colours like brown, black and red. The out-of-place yellow mutiplier band stood out to my eyes.
