JoeSchmoe Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) For anyone following the U18 World Championships Connor Bedard is leading a stacked Canada team in scoring as a double-minor (2 year under-ager). He is likely to be the next in line to follow the Crosby to McDavid line of "generational players". Anyhow, I'm laying out the tank motto for him on this early... And by slow-down i mean play bad... not the derogatory meaning. Too bad the Sabres will be a top team in the league by the time hes draft eligible. 🤠 Edited May 6, 2021 by JoeSchmoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch it, but we use this term in Electrical Engineering all the time as the definition of a slower circuit trip timing. And i don't think theres a better rhyming word out there.

JoeSchmoe Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Here's an example of a manufacturer using slowing down timing in their product literature. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.eaton.com/ecm/idcplg%3FIdcService%3DGET_FILE%26allowInterrupt%3D1%26RevisionSelectionMethod%3DLatestReleased%26Rendition%3DPrimary%26dDocName%3DPCT_1130880&ved=2ahUKEwiUu-_23bPwAhUSB50JHZ2jDdcQFjAAegQIBhAC&usg=AOvVaw0wlfvo4gjC9mq5lED5zNsc&cshid=1620259233741 Variations of timing characteristics and sequences can be programmed for a maximum of four operations. When a recloser is programmed for both fast and retarded operations, the fast operations – involving no intentional time delay – occur first in the sequence according to the recloser’s A curve time-current characteristic. Slowing down operations are according to the recloser’s B or C time-current curve (B, C, or D curve for Types E, 4E, and L). See Time Current Curves R280-91-10 for Type E reclosers; R280-91-8 for Type 4E; R280-91-1 for Type H; R280-91-2 for Types 4H, V4H, 6H, and Edited May 6, 2021 by JoeSchmoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure most of us are aware of the definitions and usages of the word, but it’s not appropriate, due to one of the usages being insulting/offensive.

JoeSchmoe Posted May 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Ok... New name. Anyhow, to do what the kid is doing at his age is pretty incredible. Shane Wright, the team captain was regarded by some to be the next potential one as an Exceptional Player in the OHL, but Bedard is shooting right past him.

I feel like it’s a good example of a word that was used in such a poor way by the general public that it actually broke the meaning of the word in such a way that it can’t even be used in normal conversation without everyone involuntarily thinking of the inappropriate usage. In the case of technical electromechanical documentation, the context is so clear that it can still be used. Plus, let’s be honest, no one reads that stuff anyway. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both look like superstars and the top pick in the next 2 drafts. Wright had 4 points today and looks every bit the player Bedard is and is bigger. Both of them have elite NHL shots at 16 and 15, just crazy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Wright is like your typical high end #1 pick (Matthews, MacKinnon, Tavares, Stamkos) Bedard looks like something next level (McDavid, Crosby, Lindros, Lemieux) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etiennep99 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Well, ya know, Bedard sounds like a Frenchie name which means I hear "Buh-Darr", rhymes with "far". So, like, I didn't get the "joke". How about Backtrack for Bedard? Or "Don't go far if you want Bedard"? "If your team is bettered, you won't get Bedard".

Crusader1969 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Think it’s a bit of an indictment for the current draft that the top players in the tournament aren’t even draft eligible though future Sabers Beniers isn’t there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
