getting so sick of "hack"
― marcos, Tuesday, 3 March 2015 19:21 (eleven years ago)
like "hack and slash" or "that guy is such a hack"
― Mordy, Tuesday, 3 March 2015 19:22 (eleven years ago)
or like hacking computers?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 3 March 2015 19:23 (eleven years ago)
like in the sense of "lifehacks", e.g. "cut your travel time in half with this commuting hack"

― walid foster dulles (man alive), Tuesday, 3 March 2015 19:29 (eleven years ago)
xp yes! i knew it was talked about on some thread but i didn't search this one
― marcos, Tuesday, 3 March 2015 19:30 (eleven years ago)
ironically, most of the people who use "hack" are hacks

Use of "tech" to describe 'anything we don't understand' and applied to everything from a Leatherman to a webpage has REALLY started to grip my shit over he past couple of weeks.

τέχνη basically covers any manual skill or craft. technology in its broad sense can refer to cans and can openers just as much as to iPhones and routers. we used to call out specifically "high tech" to make this distinction.

"He is a good man"
"Good person" is fine by me, but "good man" has this vague air of gravity or officialness or I don't know what that's just irritating.

Soon as I posted that, I thought, "Oh, great. A typo on the pedantic thread."
― pplains, Sunday, 8 March 2015 19:03 (eleven years ago)
not sure pedantic is the right word

B-|
There's a sentence fragment up there too.
― pplains, Sunday, 8 March 2015 19:06 (eleven years ago)
I've slept since then.
I don't know what this means.

"Elite" as applied to sports. (Just read John Dewan, whom I generally like, refer to Jonathan LuCroy's "elite framing.") Isn't "excellent" good enough?
― clemenza, Sunday, 8 March 2015 21:55 (eleven years ago)
Still no blaze of comprehension--not even a spark. Is this a regionalism? Or...a quote from something?

This is maybe where I should say that it took me several years to understand the thread title "Don't go back on your raisin" because I couldn't figure out what raisins had to do with anything.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Sunday, 8 March 2015 22:03 (eleven years ago)
I don't get it either!
― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Sunday, 8 March 2015 22:11 (eleven years ago)
Or the raisin thing, but I'm not really trying there.
I thought it was a Southern thing, but it might be just an Old Man thing.

Ha. came across this one and I think I went to college with this guy. Maybe it's a Midwestern thing.

And I'm fully on the record of not having either heard or having a clue what that raisin phrase meant before it was added into an ILX thread title.
