Spouse and I are in bed watching TV
Spouse: Do you have any salt on your nightstand?
Me: <hands him salt shaker>
Spouse: <doesn't take salt shaker>
Me:
Spouse: I meant *popcorn* salt
Me: Seriously? Does my nightstand look like Batman's belt, able to produce whatever happens to be needed at any given moment?

This is me and my husband asking me for various USB cables.
"Do you have the chunky square one to the little new one?"
"It's called USB B to USB C and why would you just *assume* I have every USB cable combination? What do you think I am?"
"..."
"OK here it is but ..."
"Do you have the same but innie to outie?"
"Don't call it 'innie' and 'outie' and ... yes but also NO."

Keep getting A and B mixed up. Isn't A the oldest one?

@futurebird @kims
Think of A as "host" side, B as "device" side.
A (big rectangle) and B (big square w/ rounded corners - the old printer usb) are the oldest.
Then mini-B (tiny flanged rectangle) for old DLSR, digital quick-cameras and early cell phones. mini-A was rare, it was usually just A->mini-B.
Micro-B (teeny trapezoid) for most aughts and '10s mobile devices. -

This is homophobia somehow.
