   A 78 rpm shellac record is in Swedish called a "stenkaka", a "stone cake", because it was brittle and if you dropped it on the floor it was likely to shatter.

   When I look this up on Google, DeepL and Wiktionary there seems to be no "street English" for these records, they're just called grammophone records.

   Is there really no common term in English for shellac records that is not just "shellac record" or "those grammophone records we had before vinyl"?

   Why is @wikipedia calling cis a slur? It is a technical term, not a slur, & its definition is someone who identifies with the gender recorded in their birth records.

   Is this related to the billionaire owner of a global social media platform suddenly declaring today, as part of his campaign against trans & LGBTQ people, that he will be treating cis as a slur and suspending at will any Twitter accounts that use the words cis or cisgender?
