Unplugging L2 Charger After Remote Start

[sockmeister]

Do you also put the car in park before turning it off?

Lol, I do it out of habit (and I apply the e-brake, too). 10 years of driving a manual trans, I guess.

Having not heard this word in years—several generations ago— I just had to look up it’s origins. Useless trivia but thought I’d share. Don’t mean to get off topic. You all are making unplugging a charger into a very interesting topic, btw.


“The earliest example we’ve found for “coinkydink” (often spelled and pronounced “kawinkydink”) is from the June 1952 issue of Trolley Topics, a publication of the San Francisco Municipal Railway. The term appears in an “Office News” item about trolley employees:

“Just after bowling his massive 696 series in the Association sweepstakes, Jimmy ‘The Arm’ Dickinson reached into his wallet for a look at a raffle ticket that he holds. Lo and behold, the number it bore was 696 also! A charming ‘coinkydink,’ as Jim Pagee says.”

The Random House Dictionary of American Slang describes “coinkydink” as an “intentional malapropism” used jocularly to mean a coincidence. (A malapropism, as we wrote on the blog in 2007, is an unintentionally comic misuse of a word.)”

Thank you, Susan. This is one of those rare times when a trolley's been mentioned on the forum without it being a "problem."

I'm still coming, dammit, even if I have to borrow Mickey Mouse's FDRS tool
