Which slang to use isn't anywhere near a high priority for normal
people. And the only reason Arlen mentions it is to belittle people he
dislikes..

 Yup. I've seen similar 'gotcha' attempts by gun nutz over terminology too.
 Of course they don't see outside of their little niche that those with equally deep but broader experience means that one's trivial knowledge includes different niche definitions of the same term.  In such situations, the solution is to ignore the niche pedantry attempts.
 

The point of bringing up the catenary or bimmer is that you Apple trolls
don't know anything about anything - which is a trait you all possess.

And my point is that you know nothing about racing, because not a SINGLE experienced racing driver I've ever known has ever mentioned the catenary curve as being in any way related to the fastest line through a corner.

 For motorsports, I've watched at least hundreds of races, and during all those decades, I've never heard any NASCAR/Indy/F1/etc race announcers ever mention the word "catenary" ...
 ... let alone used it in the alleged context herein of guidance for optimizing the line in a corner to minimize peak cornering forces.
 But I'm sure that Arlen can provide multiple youtube clips of TV broadcasts, with timestamps which show that I'm not misremembering.

He finally found his one reference...
...and it's about wooden toy cars running down a ramp!
