I say FS-stab
it’s tune-2fs, right
now where is the f-sck (spoken f-sack) gang?
I always pronounce it “fezzik” like Andre the Giant’s character from The Princess Bride.
oh nice i’m not the only f-stabbing psycho
Ah yes, the file stabber, not to be confused with a file system tabulation, which it definitely is not.
File stabber is a good name. :)
It took me a lot longer than I’d like to admit to realize that it was FS Tab.
This meme fscks
F-stab easier to say and more fun to say
I’ll die on this hill
I’ll defend this hill with you
By stabbing
Shit, just say f-stab and enjoy someone “correcting” you, only to smile and continue to say it that way.
Mental outlaw said that and it just stayed in my head ever since. Just like /etc is ‘etsy’.
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.”
Or SQL is Squeal
Not sequel?
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.
Sacrilege!
No squeal
How else would you say /etc ?
E-T-C
Echo Tango Charlie
et cetera
g-unzip?
gun-zip
I used this command way before I used gzip so I didn’t put it together.
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.
gun-zip just rolls off the tongue better. Two syllables instead of three? Yes, please.
Go fsck yourself
Know what it means. Still call it f stab.
TIL, I had no clue why we call this arbitrary important file a file stab, but fs tab makes sense now. F stab is more fun to say though (but has probably confused more than just me)
