If you ever read computer manuals that have been translated from

very difficult to understand. You have to guess at what they were
trying to get across.

One of my favorite catalogs came from a Chinese company that was
branching out to market their ferrite products in the USA.
One of the items the catalog listed was a "peeking" coil.

Or "hand fat" for finger prints on lenses:-))
