This is my first encounter with the word 万引き, and the fact I never would have expected it to mean “shoplifting” despite knowing both those kanji individually sent me down a bit of an etymology rabbit hole:
Originally 間引き (まびき, “thinning out [seedlings]”), applied euphemistically to a store’s inventory. The pronunciation had shifted to まんびき by 1831, and 万 in the modern form is purely phonetic.
The technical term is “heat engine”, or sometimes “Carnot engine”. (Though the latter is more if you’re talking about the underlying theory than an actual device.)

Bold of them to assume the gayness would be confined to one room.
I haven’t watched it recently, but I do remember that scene.
