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

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

Go fsck yourself

ichbinjasokreativ ,

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

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.

Not sequel?

et cetera

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.”

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.

JetpackJackson ,

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.

Congrats for being one of today’s lucky 10000! Sauce

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

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 ,
@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

stab up the word

JetpackJackson ,

Sure we can put that way lol

Empricorn ,

But it sure is memorable!
