you know what i wish would go away?

Any use of "fsck" in lieu of "fuck".  It's over.  It was over years ago.  Cut it out.  Unless you're running a filesystem check, no more "fscking".

Also, "pwned".  I can't begin to describe how braindead this is.  Not even ironic use can save it.  Stop it.  Don't make me come over there.

You mean because of this whim of yours I should now rename my untrustworthy workstation, poor little fsck.waldner.priv.at?

No fscking way.

You know, I think I'm actually with you on this one. pr0n too. "teh" on the other hand... I still enjoy that one.

Dunno why.

Can we get rid of any and all "cute" misspellings designed to show contempt for the item misspelled? Micro$oft, Slowlaris, Macintrash, and so on?

I don't know, I kind of liked the phrase "The Pwnership Society".

You mean like our favorite nazi and his egomania site clusterfsck?

I propose "STUNG!" as a replacement for "pwned".

What especially irritates me about "pwned" (beyond the fact that I believe it should be pronounced "pooned") is that, even correctly spelled, it's dumb. The only good thing that's come out of it, in my mind, is this. Also, I'm with bitpuddle on the topic of w00t.

Oh no, I like pwn3d! I just ran across it a few weeks ago, so it's still new to me. When someone says "I pwn j00" it makes me giggle.

The term "fsck" still has a lot of mileage, though. The F-Word Itself denotes a biological act which is generally pleasurable and sometimes even procreative. "Fsck" denotes something dry, mechanical, and sometimes annoyingly necessary just to get back to the level of functionality you had before things went pear-shaped. When I'm annoyed I'd rather invoke the latter and leave anything I actually enjoy doing out of it.
