Danish: Tuborg / Tuborgklamme

[Sepia]

Kan nogen sige mig, om ordet "en tuborg" - betegnelse for en bestemmt parantes i mathematik - i almindelighed stadig bruges?
Det korrekte tekniske ord er i øvrigt "en akkolade".

I thought "en tuborg" was a beer, so did some googling out of interest, and now understand the link. I guess you have seen this article, but if not it may be of interest

Jeg har selv baggrund i matematik og programmering og kalder den "en tuborg". En lille forespørgsel blandt de tre unge mennesker, der befinder sig i huset lige nu, og som alle er i gang med videregående uddannelser, afslører at én kalder den "en tuborg" og de to andre ikke har et navn for den. Så mon ikke "en tuborg" hører til i "min" generation.

Tag for svaret.

That was exactly why I was asking. You don't see the connection out in the street any more - you have to go to a museum or do internet research.

However, there are numerous expressions that people just use without having any idea what they literally mean. So I had to ask.
