torque converter

The device used in a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Used to change gears, taking the place of a clutch, in a manual transmission. Has many downfalls, but commonly used in the United States because, sadly, no one can drive stick anymore. For example, the hydraulic fluid can be starved on hills, leading to transmission failure. While pulling large loads, the converter may overheat, which is why it is not used for large trucks. Robs the engine of power, as power is lost in the conversion process. Fuel efficiency is also lost, same reason as above. Excessive repair costs, as the fluid in the converter is required to be replaced every so often.

Torque converters make baby seals cry.

tique

A foreign person, living or working in your country, that is completely clued in to the language, concepts and way of living. They are so well-educated on your culture that they actually speak your language better than you and can hold their own at any party.

Did you meet that guy Ling at the party last night. He said he was from Bejing but he spoke better English than me! So fucking tique it was unbelievable!

Meaty glove of torque

A term first used to describe the engine of the 2004 Volkswagen R32. The term is used to allow others to understand the large amount of torque available at any engine speed.

The term, "meaty glove", is derived from a more common term: "glove of meat", which is used to describe the object thrown into the air in celebration after Thomas Edison successfully created the first nickel-iron-alkaline storage battery.

"The engine has a meaty glove of torque!"
