Convention for naming for audio adaptors and leads

Do whatever you want, but some of us stick to proper names. I deal with vendors who use the proper nomenclature when I need parts. I think that if they don't know the proper name, they don't really know what they are selling.

Well I've certainly heard them called RCA jacks. Maybe they meant the mating part ?

Just to confuse you, in the UK the 1/4" guitar style connector is called a 'jack plug'.

Entirely possible. I got a pop-up on some web page to a 'ladyboy' site. You would never have told they were male with their clothes on, some looked very attractive in fact.

Well that's ok. It is a plug that goes into a jack - adjective and noun. No problem.

If you ever go to Paris, (France, not Texas) and you drive along the Bois de Boulogne at night, there's a whole display of Lady-boys there. Stunning women even though they're definitely boys.

This thread has moved away from Jacks........

Apparently now it is about Jacques. Just look at their feet - size nines are always a dead giveaway.

Too busy looking elsewhere....Boys don't have to wear tops in the street........

Unless you count One Eyed Jack's.

Nope, there are women who have bigger feet than that. (and men with smaller feet of course) The first thing to look for is the Adams apple, but that's not foolproof either :-)

MrT.

"Crocodile Dundee" had his own foolproof method in the movie. (Although you are likely to get assulted for trying that method. ) But those Australians really know how to get right to the bottom line. No foolin' around or guessing. :-)

Or arrested.

Of course he was the only one who didn't already know :-)

MrT.

That's because it's the plug that plugs into the jack, silly! ;-)
