Wasn't cis and trans isomerism a part of Chemistry from classes 9-12, or maybe it's just stuff education system in some countries don't teach? I'm genuinely curious if you were/were not taught this in your school days?

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).
