oh how very relatable, I've had similar moments.

I knew about SEDs (smoke emitting diodes) and LERs (light emitting resistors), but what do you call the inductor version?

This reminds me of the video:

"Who did your electricals?"

"My nephew Thomas!"

"Oh, so when did his house burn down?"

"Last ye.... wait how do you know his house burnt down?"

Smoke Emitting Choke?
Would that be Rapidly Decompressing Capacitors?

...only know what an inductor is from watching a video one the youtubes where they were talking about using them on the suspensions of F1 cars and they explained their relationship to electronic circuits, forget what their actual name is.
