NOS is nitrous and why....

[Slow-N-ugly]

My point exactly!

[pgriffith]

All you guys just stop this is getting way out of hand here. Its like we are not getting through to you people. In one ear and out the other. Ok for real listen to what im saying. NOS is a brand they make Nitrous kits for cars. I dont have NOS so I call it nitrous. I have a NX kit. So reffer to NOS as a brand and refer to the good stuff as NITROUS. You dont call a Mountain Dew coke. But you could call Mountain Dew a soda, because its a soda pop drink. Same with Nitrous. Can you geeks understand this? Just say Nitrous. Like 12sec said, it really clears up alot of confusion on the baords and you sound like a dumbass if you ever say NOS. So just say Nitrous. Its so much easier and makes lots more sense.

Boy I sure started something here. I never thought it was such a big deal. I am sure to all you big time drag racers that there is a difference. But I still say a rose is a rose, and nos is slang for a NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM, now here is where some of our members lose it a NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM and NITROUS OXIDE SYTEMS INC. are two totally different things. One is a company that produces nitrous systems, and one is a system regardless of who makes it. OK. Now if it is the slang that you don?t understand it?s the same as calling it juice, the bottle, a shot, or whatever. I have a firebird, most everybody I know calls it a Trans am do I go off on them no, because I know what they mean. If somebody puts a topic up about nos should we go off on them no (well some do), but we know what they are asking. Nitrous is a large enough subject here to warrant its own room, so don?t be so anal-retentive. Have you ever told somebody cool car? Was it actually cool or was it a 12-sec V6 powered firebird that you liked? Same diff, man a rose is a rose.

Looks like you just dont get it. Call it what you want, to alot of people it dont really matter. And I could care less what you call it. But I will continue to call it Nitrous because thats what I believe the proper term is. And you can call it NOS and sound like a retard. But either way im done with this post. Hope I helped some.

well if NOS is not acceptable, how about NAAAWWWWZZZZZ? :D

[Slow-N-ugly]

Hey griff, why must you Continually resort to name calling? If you want to call it what it is wouldn't it be Nitrous oxide? Since Nitrous is only 2/3 of the combination, and you want to call somebody a retard for calling it nos. Flame on my man flame on??

Here's one for you... the company "NOS" is not pronounced like a word, it's meant to be said by pronouncing each individual letter. For example, I went to my speed shop today and asked them for a safety cap for an N-O-S bottle.<hr></blockquote>

Actually, I think NOS ( the company ) has accepted being called "naws". I meen they had to put a lot of money forward for Fast & Furious to get EVERY car in the movie to have it. The whole movie was a 1.5 hour long commercial for NOS. If they concented to having all that stuff of theirs put in the movie, donated it or whatever, and probably got paid some money, then I am sure that they would have said somewhere, "Hey, its N O S, not naws" if they hadnt accepted the term.

As for nitrous being called NOS, let it go. In the real world the term that everyone uses is just what they have heard from other people. The people that call it naws are the people who dont know anything, anyway. Why waste your time on it? I never called it naws or NOS, just nitrous, and if someone was talking to me I would simply say that NOS is a brand not a mod. But in the vast scheme of things, does it really matter?

However, I do agree that on the forums it is a huge deal to say "I am buying NOS" as opposed to "am buying nitrous". Then we are talking about specific things.

So if I came and said I want nos for my car what kit would you suggest you would think I was only interested in Nitrous Oxide Syestem Inc. line of kits? Or would you say I prefere a 80 shot zex kit, or nitrous express kaes a good one? All this was originaly intended to be was a don't flame a guy because he used a slang term when refering to a nitrous oxide system. It seems some members have strong feeling regarding NOS as being a specific company. My point is that it isn't, it is a slang term for nitrous, plain and simple.

Slow's thinking " NOS = Nitrous Oxide System" - is that right, Slow? That's your whole arguement?

Ok.

Apply that to a sentence.

I have NOS.
Expand that now.
I have Nitrous Oxide System.

That's incorrect grammar buddy.

Not only are you a flamin' ricer if you say NOS, but I guess (since you pointed it out so well)you're an uneducated hooligan if you say it as well.

You got a point there DeathBuzzz, but nonetheless, call em up and see how they answer the phone. ;)

As for this thread: I hate contributing to threads that are just gonna get locked. Slow-N-ugly, you've made your point and we've all laughed at you. Git it a rest and let the lock pooch do his job.

I never called you a retard. I said you would sound like a retard if you called the sh!t NOS.

[Slow-N-ugly]

OMG! No cal that?s not what I am thinkn?. What I said was NOS has become a slang word for a Nitrous system of any kind. I can tell you the difference between most systems. The point is you guys that want to run somebody down because he asked about NOS should give it a break. Do you know what they are asking or do you just like having a child?s mentality? I have never been flamed this hard in all my life?..then again this is the first time I have posted in this forum. I see what a few of you NHRAOL racers are saying?.I don?t have NOS I have ZEX because my penis is large.

And griff so a retard would call a Nitrous Oxide System NOS but a mature adult could call it nitrous, juice, or whatever right.

[FirebirdSlickG94]

I honestly couldn't give 2 pieces of monkey crap what it's called....just as long as it sends me back in my seat.

Slow-N-Ugly...when some puts up a post that sayd something like " I just got a 75 shot of nos, it's a NX wet kit." The People on this board don't say FUK SH!T WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU FUKING DOING!!!!!! YOU'RE OUT!!!!!!! No, they say, hey man it's not nos unless you HAVE N.O.S. Just leave it, your points amoung your peers of this site are going down. This site is a branch of culture, (lol, since everyone on here is so refined) so don't mess with it, we all like it the way it is. You're not changing what people think about NAWWWWWWWSSSSSS by writing this, you're just making your name less popular. Remember ole' Bradley Palmer? No one wants to end up like him.
