There is a saying that C's get degrees, since you pass the class and still get the degree if you get a C (as opposed to an A or B). C is the speed of light (2.99792458*10^8 m/s). C is also capacitance, a property of a capacitor (represented by two parallel lines of equal length) in a circuit. C is also specific heat (like in q=mc*delta t) in J/(kg*K).
