It's a round piece of metal in the shape of an O... hence o-ring, makes sense? Assuming she should know mechanical engineering is bizarre.

- aikinai 6y agoIt wasn't the lady on the flight calling it an o-ring, it was the writer. And there's no way you'd just happen to make up the word "o-ring" unless you were trying to reference an existing term. You'd just call it a "ring" as the lady on the flight did.
- maratc 6y agoO-ring is a ring that has a cross-section that looks like "O". X-ring is a ring that has a cross-section that looks like "X". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring#Other_seals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-ring#Other_seals
- gspr 6y ago> Assuming she should know mechanical engineering is bizarre. I don't think he necessarily did assume that she has mechanical engineering knowledge. He just corrected a false statement.
