French for universal coordinated time. Same time zone as GMT (the prime meridian and the UK)

Coordinated Universal Time basically each place has a UTC plus or minus some number that way people world wide can coordinate even if they live in different time zones 1630 utc -> 4:30 PM if you live is UTC -2 then you rest 2 hours 2:30 PM at that's when the event will happen. if you live UTC + 4 you add 4, so 8:30 PM you can check which time zone you use locally easilly

The French would be TUC or TCU In English, it would be UCT So they chose UTC to be wrong in both languages, so that it wouldn't be biased to one language

The English and the French didn’t want to favor CUT or TUC, so they settled on UTC. Coordinated Universal Time = CUT Temps Universel Coordonné = TUC UTC, the letters, does not stand for anything, it’s just neutral.

Cool just looked it up, thanks for the info!

UTC = "Up the Creek", which shows you the state of their technical setup :-)

Google is a good resource.

Ultimate Timezone Championship. Twenty-four men entered the steel octogon and fought each other using boxing, wrestling and kick boxing until only one was left standing. The victor won the right to declare his timezone 'zero'. Some bloke from Greenwich, England won and the rest is history.

Yes but as this thread proves, asking plebs is more fun 😄

It stands for Upsetting Those Cocksuckers. It means you watch the shows on 2x speed whenever you fucking want.
