Spaghetti walling - I think this is another way of saying “throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks”, my guess from the old wives tale that you can test the doneness of spaghetti by seeing if it sticks when thrown at a wall.
Backronym - an acronym that was made by first deciding what the finished acronym should be, then working backwards to decide what it should stand for. Usually used by NASA nerds to make cool sounding projects or by politicians to make evil shit sound friendly and benign.
One of my favorite authors is PG Wodehouse and if I ever inadvertently phrase something like him I consider it a good day. He has 9 gazillion novels, 2 plots, and all of them are worth reading because of the way he can turn a phrase.
Just in case
Edit: I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that didn’t know. When the headline reads like everyone should know I felt a little dumb for a second.
Yep, one of those things the IT department takes care of and most other people just need to know to keep their devices updated.
Thank you. I’ve never heard this acronym before, myself.
thank you i was spaghetti walling and none of my backronyms were fitting
Fascinating series of words I’ve never heard before
