At UCCSoundMan, re: Dicky plugs...
A boy robot has a USB TypeA "Dicky" plug that he uses to interface with a girl robot's USB TypeB "slot" receptacle.
History has proven how annoying this turned out to be, what with having to rotate the two numerous times before the alignment was such to allow entry.
Thus the USB TypeC "reversible" plug was invented with the claim that you could stick it in either side up & it would always insert right the first time.
Still, it is suggested that you use a bit of dongle wax to lather your plug to make sure it slides in easier & makes the data transfer go lickity split.
