does it bother you when people call Nitrous "NOS"? its like calling can of soda "coke" all the time. NOS is a brand of an object, not an element.

There really is no brand affiliation in it though, it stands for nitrous oxide system. I realize there is an NOS brand but it is still an ok abbreviation if you ask me.

NOS is a brand name. Other companies make nitrous oxide systems also like Edelbrock. Ever since that lame Fast and the Furious flick came out a lot of people call it NOS. Yeah, I don't like it either. It was more product placement than anything in that movie.
I wouldn't called it Edelbrock either as they're more well known for carbs and intake manifolds.

If I order a Coke and someone tries to serve me a Pepsi, then it bothers me. Other than that I don't hang around with a crowd which refers to nitros oxide as NOS. For that matter, some people refer to their "nitro" RCs as "gas" cars many times and then can't seem to distinguish the difference between an RC that runs on gasoline mixed with oil and one that runs on nitromethane mixed with methyl alcohol.

I dont get why you nuts call it soda. Call it that here, and we give you a soda based water, something you clean clothes with. Its Soft Drink or soda pop.

And by the way, its N2O, not NO.
