Honorable Mentions:

  • Inertial dampeners fail in both
  • DM calls it “FTL drive” but it’s warp drive in all but name
  • Subspace communications
  • Both have mirror universes
  • Discovery’s experimental spore drive is Dark Matter’s experimental “Blink” drive in all but name

Edit: Had one I meant to include but forgot: Killer Barrels

Bonus: Has Detmer and Sam Kirk too.

      Jipped is gyped. As in ripped off by gypsies. It’s not a nice thing to say. Many people don’t know about the racist origin of the term. If you hate me for saying this I can tell you the nastiest joke I know involving a gypsy. They prefer to be called Roma though.

                I think you’re reaching on that one. Buck is a term used for a male animal. For example, calling a kid “young buck” isn’t to do with anything racial or to do with slaves. It simply means young man.

                Buck naked is just saying your as naked as a wild animal. Buck wild is to say someone is acting free and crazy like a wild animal, similar to “wilding out”.

                  I’m willing to grant that it’s possible these slang terms were more animal related than slave related. I do have to point out that your snopes link, although it mentions a false etymology related to slavery, is about the term bucks to mean dollars. Which of course comes from deer hides. I think buck referring to money and buck referring to young slave men are different etymologies.

                  What I wrote was how I heard it, and I don’t remember when or where. Like I said, it’s possible I’m wrong, but I do not concede that you have refuted my argument.

                  Heads up, snopes had kind of a hostile takeover situation. They were being transparent about their funding and expenditures until the past four years. I have no doubt what you linked is correct, but snopes is no longer the final word on the internet that it once was.
