Quote HistoryQuoted: I get the master/slave thing But I don’t really see the issue with all the other names I don't see an with master/slave, it describes the components mode of operation. The entire play on our language needs be stopped. This is petty bullshit for maladjusted people that actually need some psychological help. Their mind is either in the gutter or they are a self loathing milquetoast. Normal people do not analyze words to find whet derogatory meaning they could possibly have then want them banned. Key word there, normal. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Intel did that two years ago, they did let us keep using the terms "black box" and "white box" for test suites that (black box) didn't know what was being tested, and (white box) did know what was being tested as they refer to being able to see into the 'box' (really the code module) under test. But yes, all references to 'master/slave' for communications protocols have supposed to have been renamed, though most of the documentation on server communications and I2C/SMBUS are still using master/slave terms. and most of the engineers who've been around longer than 10 minutes (especially those from APAC) still use the commonly accepted terms which are now verboten. I'm still waiting for someone to correct me, lol! I was in one meeting where the term "grandfathered" was used, and then we had to have a 5 minute discussion about the word. Yay productivity.  |

What about male/female connectors? Is a wire nut a non-binary connector? Why aren't trans people equally represented in the world of connectors?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Can I still cut wire with a pair of dykes?  I walked into the control room one day and went over to Chief and asked him if he had a pair of dykes because we were working on some wiring in the back. He got this funny look and stared over the board. Yep, two bull dykes standing there.  One said what did you ask for"? I said a pair of dykes, wire cutters. She was like oh, I thought you meant something else.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I had alway referred to wire cutters as dikes. Until a buddy of mine that works with a DOD contractor said they were not allowed to call them that any more. He said they had to call them side cutters or diagonal cutters. I told him that was gay  The politically correct term is lesbians. Used in a sentence: Hey apprentice, hand me my pair of lesbians... |

Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the software company where I worked had uneven code quality turned over to the test team.
They rated the quality of each build using terms which probably wouldn't be allowed today. aborted/abortion - a build which was delayed because of problems Stillborn - wouldn't compile correctly Brain damaged - compiles but crashes easily Crippled - a few tests would run, but the developers should be embarrassed. Hobbled - mostly works but has a few obvious defects. |

Trinidad State told me the same thing. We had these "slaves" that supported a rifle when part of it was off the workbench. They were adjustable in height so it could be suited for your bench/vise and the object. Can't call them slaves anymore.

I'm reasonably sure that pretty much every vehicle on the road has a master/ slave cylinder for the hydraulic brake system. I'm going to make a point of continuing to use those terms when applicable. I'm completely over all of this woke DEI nonsense. There is nothing wrong with referring to mechanical systems as master/ slave in the appropriate context.

Few years ago, my platoon Sgt (black female E7) made a comment about how she hated the term "slave cable." We were a maintenance company, mind you...in central Florida...so she rightfully got a lot of
looks. But last I had heard, they changed the name and they're no longer called slave cables. Because muh feelings.

Quote HistoryQuoted: When discussing boilers, we have also always referred to boilers paired together as “master and slave” I never really thought about it until a customer said something. She wasn’t mad or anything she just mentioned or asked why we refer to it like that. Since then we refer to it as primary and secondary. Not because I give a shit about work terminology but because I like to sell boilers and tankless. Yes. I care more about profits than what slang we use I heard a story- might have been here on Arfcom- about a computer network engineer for a middle-sized college. They wanted him to remove ALL references to "master and slave" drives! He said it took months to do so, and he made bank on it. Only problem I would see is if they refused to give him written authorization to do so (and spend the buck$ to do so). Apparently he thought of that before I did. |
