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

@culturednyc @bloor EHLO!

@bloor

personally, i've always pronounced SQL as "squeal", since that's usually my reaction when i have to deal with it.

DNS could be "dins". with small TTLs, it's really really noisy.

@bloor DNS the menace.

@silvermoon82@wandering.shop …and gnshr!

for the record, i'm not from the UK. i just associate "dennis the menace" with the UK one because the 2009 cartoon used to air on the hub network (now discovery family) in the US when it launched. also the american dennis would've been waaaay before my time lol

@unsungnovelty @bloor Don't know about that but the image file format of the Joint Photographic Experts Group is properly pronounced Jay Feg

@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".

@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.

[icewolf@masto.brightfur.net]

@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?
