If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

@johntimaeus @robinadams @bloor I like skull so it's like Post Grey Skull.

[peterdrake@mstdn.social]

@mansr @bloor "squeal" except in October, when it's "skull".

[ret@furry.engineer]

@greem yeah that's the best thing I've read all day. Calling it Denice for ever now.

@robinadams @bloor I started out calling it "My Squirrel" before I'd ever heard anyone say "sequel," and that is how it will forever be in my head.

"I have to run a squirrel query."

"I'm having trouble running a join on these squirrel tables."

It's objectively better this way.

@robinadams @bloor post-grey squirrel (they're very subtly tinted with color)

[oldfartrant@mstdn.ca]

@bloor or Donna's, dengue, denudes...

[robinadams@mathstodon.xyz]

@IceWolf @bloor I was imagining sending a grey squirrel through the mail.

[oneguynick@mastodon.social]

@bloor Great point, but no.

[icewolf@masto.brightfur.net]

@robinadams @bloor "★☆☆☆☆ instead of nuts, package contained squirrel!"

[denniskuester@norden.social]

@bloor Ja, was ist?

[andrewd18@hachyderm.io]

@bloor It's pronounced "Deans", like "beans".

@qwyrdo @me_ @bloor HTML is "hotmail."

@robinadams @bloor Same. I once introduced a dba as “our squirrel wrangler”. Csuite was confused. She thought it was hysterical.

[gbargoud@masto.nyc]

@bloor

The correct pronunciation is "squeal"

@EdCates @robinadams @bloor

It is good however to have a thing when you want to squirrel things away and hide your nuts.

Of course there is the original dataabase...
It's called a hard drive and file system.
files and a partition table, and a dir taable.

[omar@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@bloor fucking Active Directory.

[lemgandi@mastodon.social]

@robinadams @bloor And PostGIS?
