Subject: BS: subliminal computer lingo From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp Date: 26 Sep 12 - 06:05 PM It worries me that the young and innocent of the nation are bein' led down the jungle path by deliberately suggestive modern computer lingo. For instance, "log in". The first time I heard that, I figgered it had to be a sexual reference! Same goes for "log out", needless to say. Then there's "hard drive". That one made my hair stand on end. Then there's "floppy disk"...an undesirable and feeble device that had its day, but soon fell outta favor for obvious reasons! Hard disks have taken over, and I don't hafta tell you why, do I? And what about "upload" and "download"? Talk about obscene! The computer industry should come clean and admit that it has been panderin' to the sex trade just to enrich itself. When I am elected, Congress is gonna look into this problem and do somethin' about it. Yessiree. I've had a team of apes and monkeys workin' hard on puttin' together an inoffensive and generic list of technical terms to replace the present sexually laden and offensively suggestive terms bein' used in the industry. "Hard disk" will be replaced by Digital Information Storage Device or DISD (Disdee). The Keyboard will become the Digital Information Loading Device Onhand......or DILDO.... Umm....????....wa-a-a-a-a-it a minute!!! - Chongo |

Subject: RE: BS: subliminal computer lingo From: Rapparee Date: 26 Sep 12 - 09:01 PM Look at your keyboard. There are keys labeled "Insert" and "End." Not to mention "Pause" and "Break" are the same key. Don't even think about what "Num Lock" does. And "Enter" speaks for itself. |
