I was shocked when I realized people pronounced it fs-tab lmao

clif ,

I’ve never heard fs-tab in my life. Always f-stab. Hmmm…

BlackPenguins ,

Oh shit. Does that stand for file system?

Revan343 ,

File system table

Empricorn ,

*File System Table-stab

Linguist ,

Mentally I say Fs-tab because its filesystem table but if I ever say it out loud its f-stab

some_guy ,

Madness.

JetpackJackson ,

Now that’s insanity

Empricorn ,

I’m calling the authorities. All of them.

Was the other way around for me. F-stab just makes no sense.

JetpackJackson ,

Idk its just how my brain decided to “chop up” the word if that makes sense

@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

stab up the word

JetpackJackson ,

Sure we can put that way lol

Empricorn ,

g-unzip?

gun-zip

I used this command way before I used gzip so I didn’t put it together.

clif ,

gun-zip just rolls off the tongue better. Two syllables instead of three? Yes, please.

Blaster_M ,

Gun Zip - you literally shoot the gz file and it explodes like a piñata of files all over the dir you gun zipped it in.

Artyom ,

Ah yes, the file stabber, not to be confused with a file system tabulation, which it definitely is not.

... it never occurred to me that it could be fs tab

gofsckyourself ,

Go fsck yourself

ramius345 ,

Know what it means. Still call it f stab.

Lobreeze ,

F-stab easier to say and more fun to say

I’ll die on this hill

I’ll defend this hill with you

milicent_bystandr ,

By stabbing

MehBlah ,

It is what its always been. F stab

ichbinjasokreativ ,

Mental outlaw said that and it just stayed in my head ever since. Just like /etc is ‘etsy’.

Sacrilege!

No squeal

@OrgunDonor@lemmy.world avatar

SQL has always been Skull in my head. I think it is because I hated it when in college and associated it with dying inside.

justme ,

Not sequel?

et cetera

rob_t_firefly ,
@rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world avatar

Though I know it means “et cetera” when reading my brain has always “heard” that word - whether in the context of the word “etc.” or the computing /etc - as pronounced “ettick.” As in, “you need to edit your ettick f-stab file.”

southsamurai ,
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

Shit, just say f-stab and enjoy someone “correcting” you, only to smile and continue to say it that way.

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It took me a lot longer than I’d like to admit to realize that it was FS Tab.

KillingTimeItself ,

f stab is real shit bro

fs tab is for losers.

real men say et-see, not etcetera.

Matombo ,

i say ee-tee-see

KillingTimeItself ,

et-see is the objectively correct version, ee-tee-see is the marginally more correct, but less funny version of it. And etcetera is just illegal, you should be jailed if you ever say that.

dodos ,

TIL, I had no clue why we call this arbitrary important file a file stab, but fs tab makes sense now. F stab is more fun to say though (but has probably confused more than just me)

palordrolap ,

I think I might be the third option: f'ss-tab.

Couldn't tell you where that's from. When I first ran Linux, the year didn't start with a 2.
