Me seeing this graphic in a Youtube video
“Buddha-type valve???”
(These are the three types of valves you find on bicycle tires: Presta, Dunlop and Schrader, often also called French, English and American valves, respectively)
I somehow didn’t know this before and I find it really funny
It’s still a pretty generic concept like most of the other country ateji. 仏 on the other hand is heavily associated with Buddhism which you’d think could lead to a lot of unnecessary confusion.
Whenever I see that character from now on I will think of Fr*nch people
