AAA battery.

triple-A 20·08·26 

1911 Ever Ready · ANSI 24 / IEC R03 

01 Keith’s definition 

A high grade of something that denotes superior quality or high production value. Triple-A games came to mind. Then I read Webster’s definition. There’s no definition at all. Only the example of triple-A batteries. I thought: why are the small batteries that power TV remote controls called triple-A?

02 Official meaning 

AAA battery.

03 In use 

> Find it. You know, losin’ the remote is like losin’ the keys to the car—you ain’t drivin’ nowhere. Then there’s the matter of triple-A batteries. Those are the pre–Big Bang of watchin’ Big Bang Theory reruns; you gotta have ’em quickly.
