    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.

    erm....twas something to do with variables within reserved memory iirc (it was about 20 years ago....& i never quite mastered it!)

    dongle looks to be the favourite so far

    RAM and floppy are still good tho
