manual transmission

The superior way of driving. More engaging and reliable although a rarity in the United States. To drive one, your left foot modulates a clutch and your right foot modulates the brakes/gas. You start going in motion when the clutch bites.

Nocturnal transmission

Email or other electronic communication sent overnight which catches the recipient by surprise, sometimes by the impact of the transmission, when discovered the following morning.

dual-clutch transmission

A 2-way radio message sent using a notoriously-problematic microphone which requires its operater to tightly grip/squeeze the "push-to-talk" button-lever with both hands to get it to work.
I hear that Ford is gonna be recalling a whole bunch more defective CBs that came with their new vehicles due to dual-clutch transmission issues.

Transmission Pants

Highly durable and resilient pants designed to withstand extreme stress and rugged conditions without blowing out. Must be rated to operate at hoop stress levels of 20% or more of SMYS (Specified Minimum Yield Strength), meaning these bad boys can stretch, bend, and flex under pressure without splitting open like the pants available at your local farm supply store.
"We had a pressure surge during the pipeline test, and everyone braced for a rupture--but my Transmission Pants just absorbed the stress, and the gauge needle bent instead. The on-site OSHA inspector just nodded approvingly."

community transmission

Medical euphemism, roughly translated , "We have no fucking clue how, where, or who you caught the virus from".
"We phoned all of your direct contacts in the past fourteen days... (Yeah, we dialled the number you gave us for the girl whose name you didn't know.) We're marking it down as: "community transmission".
