I know way too much about the propagation of plasma in fluorescent lighting. When you first hit a fluorescent tube with high voltage you need some cosmic radiation to rip off the first barium ion off the cathode which causes a tiny little lightning strike of plasma that skitters across the inner surface of the tube. Once it makes its way across the length of the tube to the anode you now have a conductive path. This path then grows tremendously until it envelopes the whole cross section starting from the anode and works it's way back to the cathode until the whole tube is filled with wonderful plasma that makes light when it excites the phosphor coating.

Don't remember if any other titles used it, but BARACUDA on Sonic 3D Blast on Genesis/Mega Drive for level select.

Not sure if it works for the other versions or on any of the collection games it's included in, though.

RRTANGENTABACUS

I know it primarily as a cheat code in Star Wars pod racer on N64, but I've seen it in other games too, and even referenced in different non-gaming contexts. I still don't really know what it means.

When I was a kid I remembered it as "RR-Tan-Genta-Bacus". It wasn't until decades later I realised it is real words "tangent", "abacus".

Morse code. Did a science project back in middle school with wires, buzzers and tappers on a board. Then I taught it to my boy scout troop for a badge. Then lost some of it before joining the army in communications (as well as a ton of other outdated means of communication) and then in Iraq, me and another commo guy wired up our rooms for it so we could talk shit about our leadership even if they were in the room. Anyways, after working with it that many times over a stretched out time frame, I'll never forget that. Or the phonetic alphabet.
