The eternal struggle of physics education! That moment when you're presenting your professor with the revolutionary idea of "actually teaching the subject" instead of monotonously reciting textbook passages, and they respond by drawing 25 UNO cards rather than changing their ways. Wave mechanics professors are particularly guilty of this crime against education. They'll happily derive equations for three hours straight while students drown in a sea of Greek symbols, but heaven forbid they explain what any of it actually means in reality. The professor would rather collect the entire UNO deck than adapt their teaching style. Meanwhile, students are left wondering if Schrödinger's cat is both understanding and not understanding the lecture simultaneously.

This is peak electrical engineering humor! The expression "U ω₀t M8" is a clever play on "You what, mate?" in British slang, but written using physics notation. The "U" represents voltage, "ω₀" (omega-naught) is angular frequency, "t" is time, and "M8" sounds like "mate." This is exactly the confused face every engineering student makes when the professor first introduces phasors—those rotating complex numbers that represent sinusoidal functions and make AC circuit analysis either brilliantly simple or utterly baffling depending on whether your brain has melted yet.
