The engineering joke that separates the nerds from the normies! While most people know RPM as "revolutions per minute," the French have a delightful linguistic quirk where they call it "tours par minute" (TPM). Non-English speakers get it immediately, but everyone else is left staring blankly like Toothless the dragon. It's basically the STEM version of an inside joke that makes engineers snicker while the rest of us pretend to understand. Next time someone mentions RPM, just nod knowingly and mutter "ah, oui, les tours..."
