I know way too much about the propagation of plasma in fluorescent lighting. When you first hit a fluorescent tube with high voltage you need some cosmic radiation to rip off the first barium ion off the cathode which causes a tiny little lightning strike of plasma that skitters across the inner surface of the tube. Once it makes its way across the length of the tube to the anode you now have a conductive path. This path then grows tremendously until it envelopes the whole cross section starting from the anode and works it’s way back to the cathode until the whole tube is filled with wonderful plasma that makes light when it excites the phosphor coating.

I know it primarily as a cheat code in Star Wars pod racer on N64, but I’ve seen it in other games too, and even referenced in different non-gaming contexts. I still don’t really know what it means.
When I was a kid I remembered it as “RR-Tan-Genta-Bacus”. It wasn’t until decades later I realised it is real words “tangent”, “abacus”.
