I hate the Fast and Furious
That stupid *** movie has everyone at my school and almost everyone I know thinking nitrous is NOSSS. When I explain NOS is a company that supplies nitrous labeled Nitrous Oxide Systems, there respone is "Nitrous, NOS same thing". I hate people.

Technically, it's not the same thing. But for all intents and purposes it is. It has become a widely accepted term to mean nitrous oxide. Have you ever called a pair of inline skates "rollerblades" or heard someone say they were going "rollerblading?" Or have you ever called a pair of self-locking pliers a pair of "vice grips?" That's no different. Those are name brands, but have become socially accepted to mean the tool itself, rather than the brand.

RE: I hate the Fast and Furious
I also love it when people get and my car and wonder where the NOS button on my steering wheel is. I tell them I wired the cruise control button up to it. I understand what you mean about band-aid. But I hate when people that know absolutely nothing about nitrous try to tell me how it works. For Gods sake some kid tried to tell me I have a wet-dry kit, not a wet kit and that my fuel solenoid was supposed to spray fuel THROUGH the injectors, not my intake.
