I'm making a lot of progress fixing my car, so I have time for trivial
questions. In the wiring diagram for Toyotas it often distinguishes
between convertibles and c/p.


What does c/p mean?


I'm thinking c stands for coupe, but where does that leave p?


OT, do any of you remember the 50's when one design was called a coupe,
which was pronounced coo-pay. It turns out with an accent over the e,
that's the past participle of a verb meaning to hit, but with no accent,
in French, the final e is silent, and the word is pronounced coop. But
in the 50's either people didn't know that or coop didn't sound French
enough. -- Similar to foyer, pronounced foi-yay. In French it would
be fwah-yay, and in English foy-er, but in the 50's they used a combo
English-French pronunciation, foi-yay.

For some reason, now in the USA, both words are usually pronounced in
straight English.

Running down your leg, if you're not careful.

I scrolled as far as page 13 (out of 107), but I didn't notice a reference
to c/p.

No coupays there... In northern New England French Canadiens were low
of the social scale so even if it should have been French it was
purposefully mangled: go looking for Isle au Haut in Maine and you'd
better say aisles ah hot and no something to do with ho's.
