Cis and trans are indeed chemistry terms to denote isomerism, but that doesn't typically occur until college (specifically organic chemistry) in the States.

Most people probably aren't aware of that meaning in the US.

Can confirm. Well-educated American. Never heard of it (didn't study chem in college).

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
