The handbrake warning light on my dashboard has a symbol
that represents a brake drum and a pair of brake shoes,
and the word "BRAKE" written underneath it. That's a
technical term and an implementation detail, right there
in the user interface!

(Never mind that the implentation detail isn't accurate,
because the car actually has disc brakes...)
