Parkingidiot 1st Gear April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 Just a small side issue away from the main fracas. This is the logo of the PAP. It is an image of a bolt of lightning with a blue circle around it. It is lightning - not thunder. [FYI: Thunder is the sound that comes after a bolt of lightning rapidly heats up the air and causes massive vibrations.] Yet, many people refer to PAP as team Thunder. Why??? If any name - it should be team lightning or lightning bolt. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iisterry 3rd Gear April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 Not really leh.. I see sound-waves emanating from the area which the lightning has passed through. You see the circle? It is to illustrate the direction of the wave propagation. KK. On 4/28/2011 at 4:35 AM, Parkingidiot said: Just a small side issue away from the main fracas. This is the logo of the PAP.

If any name - it should be team lightning or lightning bolt. it comes from the hokkien phrase "tan lui"打雷 which means thunder strike. lui refers to thunder and not lightning. in hokkien there is no phrase for lightning. lightning is always subsumed within tan lui. hence thunder includes and represents lightning. hence i believe the people that translates it as thunder is simply using the hokkien phrase as their basis.

Ender Hypersonic April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 (edited) In Singapore we sometimes come across phrase like "see the flashes of Thunder", "the lightning is loud" . The PAP logo, in Singapore context is alright we called it a thunder, since we're are the only people in the world to be able to see the thunder and hear the lightning.

Darryn Turbocharged April 28, 2011 Share April 28, 2011 Just as an aside, I saw fork lightning for the third time in my life after reaching Singapore. In 20+ years living in NZ I had only seen a bolt of lightning twice. If a storm has lightning (at least in my area) it was mostly sheet lightning* *Sheet lightning is an informally applied name to cloud-to-cloud lightning that exhibits a diffuse brightening of the surface of a cloud caused by the actual discharge path being hidden. This term can also be applied when the lightning itself cannot be seen by the spectator, so it appears as only a flash, or a sheet of light. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
