computerlogisms

Pondering about great contributions I could have on the English language from a technical point of view I came up with the following neologisms that may or may not hit your English Dictionary within 10 years:

  • “The Internet is getting pretty hot”: the AC/DC adapter is getting really warm. Originates from the early 21st century when routers, hubs and other networking devices became mainstream.
  • “Blue or Black?”: Compare with ‘Heads or Tails’. See also: ‘Which colour networking cable are you?’, an Internet meme that brought Slashdot to its knees. The Self-Slashdotting event of Slashdot, eventually resulted in the demise and fall of the number of blogs on the Internet.
  • “I see sharp”: Generally followed with laughter. Rumour has it that ‘see sharp’ actually stands for C#, Microsoft’s programming language that formed the foundation of the current (UN adopted) Microsoft Strawberry Shortcake Operating System
  • “I’m on Block 10.”: Indicates that the person is trying to get his work done. Preferably on his own. (see also, ‘Have you been netmasking lately?’)
  • “I’ve got super-cow powers”: Compare with ‘I had a pretty good day’. Generally answered by the crowd with a whopping ‘moo-moo’ sound.
