读到 AC/DC ，发现朗五双解只有一个义项：

adj informal
sexually attracted to both men and women 【非正式】双性恋的

这和我的认知有差距，这 AC/DC 不就是交流电/直流电吗？怎么连这个意思都没有。又查了下，发现 LDOCE4 和 LDOCE6 这条内容分别如下：
LDOCE4 双解

1 informal sexually attracted to both men and women 【非正式】双性恋的
2 used to refer to electrical equipment that can work on either ALTERNATING CURRENT or DIRECT CURRENT 交流电直流电两用的

LDOCE6 http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/ac-dc

1 sexually attracted to both men and women
2 alternating current or direct current

o大，你真仔细，怎么发现的？醉了也是！

看来朗文4双解也不能丢，还得和郎5双解一起用

西方这几年政治正确真厉害啊，与HOMO有关的词条少了就不行大概

MED online 里 AC/DC 释义也不含交流电/直流电，要单独查询 AC、DC 才行。

LDOCE5 Viewer.exe 里 AC/DC 释义与朗五双解相同，Word Origin 是讲电流：

AC/DC
Date: 1900-2000
Origin: alternating current/direct current two different types of electric current

Encarta的解释还是不错的：
1.  powered by battery or electrical outlet: able to be powered by battery or by connection to an electrical outlet. Full form alternating current/direct current
2.  offensive term: an offensive term meaning bisexual (slang)

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=ac%2Fdc
AC/DC (adj.) Look up AC/DC at Dictionary.com
electronics abbreviation of alternating current/direct current, by 1898. As slang for "bisexual," 1959, said to have been in use orally from c. 1940; the notion is of working both ways.

但是：
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/ac-dc
C20: humorous reference to electrical apparatus that is adaptable for alternating current and direct current
Collins的这个解释是否有点儿问题？

ODE也不错：
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/AC/DC
1  Alternating current/direct current.
2  informal Bisexual.

从多个词典义项和下图可以看出，AC/DC连用表示直流/交流共用的含义现在不太使用了。
