    Don't know why, but using dizzy for distributor really bugs the hell out of me.

    Bugs me too. Not as bad as when people say "Chev" short for "Chevy" which is already short for "Chevrolet"! Pretty soon they will just be using a "C". Is it really that much effort to throw the "Y" in there? Did it really need to be shorter? "Repo" parts makes it sound like someone came and took your stuff.

    I've known "Chev" as a spoken direct abbreviation for "Chevrolet" since childhood. It's been in common use in my part of the world all along. Even the Xhosas and Zulus call the new Daewoo-Chevrolets "iChev".

    in which case it's "Tchebby" ;)

    Not so sure about that one. Chev is an abbreviation for Chevrolet. Chevy is some cutesy derivative. Can't see a "y" anywhere in Chevrolet.

    Chevy-rolet :confused:

    Better your tire then busting your steering arm. Than again, tires aren't cheap.

    I had a set of repo El-de-brock heads one time. Prolly were not NORS , so I traded them for a dizzy out of a Camero and the guy added the ****** to the trade.

    Umm, advice and advise. I see it here all the time...
     
  23. Just to be the devil's advocate maybe the repo guys think it is short for repop. :D

    I'm with you by the way it should be repro.

    That's the best I can figure too(?). I'd say the re****al for that argument would be REPOP is slang for REPRODUCTION (I think we all agree on that). Do we need to shorten a slang word like REPOP by a single letter?

    •Reproduction (actual word)
    •Repro (abbreviation of actual word)
    •Repop (slang term of actual word)
    •Repo (abbreviated form of "repossess")

    That's it.

    Damn it.
