it's spray on lubricant).

Thanks for the tip. Actually it is the American equivalent.😄
Because, as the WD-40 Company (formerly the Rocket Chemical Company of
San Diego) explains:
WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. That's the
name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed
WD-40 back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct
a formula to prevent corrosion — a task which is done by displacing
water. Norm's persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his
40th try.
That would be San Diego, California in North America... the United
States. Not trying to give you a hard time, just one of the few
anicdotal stories I remember from college chemistry classes. 😉

"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the
press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of
speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the
freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who
serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who
allows the protester to burn the flag."
