Interesting. In the Southern United States, a "tranny" is an automobile's transmission.

yep, that's a given definition here in oz too ... along with the "transistor radios" and "transsexual" definition.

so much depends on context, doesn't it? :-)

It would very much depend on WHO you were speaking to at the time, as to whether you used the slang term or not *grin*

I'm not much of a car person, so that useage bypassed me 8-)

I collect trannies. I keep them in the basement.

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

*grin*

Are they sorted?

[shadesfox.livejournal.com]

Of course! All by size!

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

Not by year?
