>A term from the late 1950’s when transistor radios were becoming the fad was; “I am going to listen to my transistor”. That upset me and still does, so I would tell anyone daring to make such a statement in my presence; “A transistor is a current amplifying device and you 'cannot hear it'. You are listening to a transistor radio”!

We long got over that problem by calling it a "tranny". However, as you probably know, that's the same as teh word for a transvestite. But context gets you round the problem. After all, who ever listens to a cross-dresser?

Similarly, audio tape players are often called a "tape" which I find strange.
