Yea, dad made many dozens of flight to Japan in the early 1960. He was flying a cargo plane, so space was not an issue. He brought home a stereo in 1960 that was two LARGE speakers, and a high end amp and turntable. It was pennies on the dollar to buy it new in Japan and just come home with no customs.
He started reading up on the stereo and of course learned it had woofers and tweeters in the speaker cabinets. They were playing scrabble with another couple and dad used tweeter and the other couple protested. So out came the dictionary and it was not in there yet. It was like using the work Astronaut, it was just not in there yet. The word was disallowed and they did not accept a poorly translated Japanese made manual as proof of the word.
