Facetious term for a vacuum tube. The term is a parody of "MOSFET" (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), and is used jovially by vacuum tube enthusiasts.

Humorous or derogatory slang for a BMW driver. May have originated from a reference to Germany's relatively large population of Turkish immigrants.
