captaingamez Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 So this may sound like an odd title, but serious quaetion. I hate to be a noob here. I realize of course that a dime is a 510 normally. But is it just 510s? or all 10 series? 610, 710, 810, 910, ect I ask because I have heard my car and an 810, and a 610 called "dimes" by different people in the past. Just wanted to clear this up.

scooter stuff Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 510 only. Derived from "nickle & dime" or "five & dime" Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Typically "dime" refers to a PL510 only. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 That is exactly what I thought. So where the hell did people get the idea that it meant all 10 series? Quote Link to comment

GRpufnstuf Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 dime (n) chosen 1786 as name for U.S. 10 cent coin, from dime "a tenth, tithe" (late 14c.), from Old French disme (Modern French dîme) "a tenth part," from Latin decima (pars) "tenth (part)," from decem "ten" (see ten). The verb meaning "to inform" (on someone) is 1960s, from the then-cost of a pay phone call. A dime a dozen "almost worthless" first recorded 1930. Phrase stop on a dime attested by 1954 (a dime being the physically smallest unit of U.S. currency). From http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=dime Quote Link to comment
