Something about equal race/gender participation. I can find nothing about this in Google Books, though the word does seem to exist with an unrelated meaning. Equinox ◑ 16:53, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- I haven't heard the engineering meaning in exactly that sense. It's similar to how one might describe behavior of a material past the yield limit. Below the yield strength one normally models a metal as having a constant ratio between stress and strain. Pull twice as hard and it stretches twice as much. Then one applies a correction for metal fatigue or creep if needed in a particular application. (Like, for example, designing an airliner.) Above the yield strength, post the uniform stress-strain region, things change. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 18:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Couldn't find any uses in the racial sense. It is also a Swedish word post (“organization delivering mail”) + uniform (“uniform”), in one book worn by somebody claiming to be from Fedex.[1] If anybody translates David Brin's The Postman into Swedish, there's a title for you.

- It's a word in a number of other Germanic languages for a postal uniform, which means there's a lot of chaff, but searching for it + a or the (!) (as well as black, race, and racially) turns up nothing even on non-durable Twitter. This article, by a newspaper(?) which seriously names itself the New Brunswick Herard instead of the Herald, discusses both this term and culture system as apparently recent coinages. They don't seem to have caught on at all. - -sche (discuss) 07:23, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
