The funniest computer word?
Since computers have been invented, a few words have been recycled, but many created, some of which are quite amusing.
So, what would you say is the best? SCSI is quite a good one to pronounce, but not that funny. My fav: dongle! Oh, the innuendo opportunities! ------------------------------ |

ZX81 machine code was pretty funny cos it used the terms "peek" and "poke" a lot - that always raised a smile on my 14-year-old face at the time
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is

I remember in the heydays of dongles, you could buy a short extension cable to prevent stress on the printer port.
They called it a dongle dangler...
Now go away before I taunt you a second time.
