  • Command Line Interface...?

    Quick question: when you hear the phrase "Command Line Interface," does some part of your brain feel a strong desire to append a word like "terminal" for amusing-acronym purposes? That happened to me the first time I heard it, and still happens every time. My lab partner says, "hey, the link's still down on that router," and I want to say something like "hold on, let me play with the CLIT and see if I can make 'er happy." I don't, because some of my female classmates might object, but I've asked my lab partner quietly and he says he totally does that too.

    ...do you?

    Crap, didn't make the poll public so I know who said what. Oh well.

      No. I hate wordplay. This thread is getting a two star rating.

          I always called it a clit ... but that didn't have anything to do with acronyms ...
