It's true and that's not my words!

I was writing a post and noticing "noobs" was marked by spelling checker:


I am not sure if Firefox has built-in spelling checker or it is using the spelling checking libraries on my system and/or the word files. Didn't bother to check it up.

Funny thing is the definition of boob I know was only known after 20 years when boob was defined as a stupid awkward person in 1907 originally. Now I know the original definition, would I use it for that? Heck, no, unless I want to be punched in the face.

It can also be used as a verb and there is also a few derivations, such as booby or boobily. Words are interesting sometimes. You are booby! Why did you do boobily? Well, doesn't sound right.

If Blogger's spelling checker also suggested the same, that would be awesome. Unfortunately, it didn't:


Yep, I am just bored. Maybe we should start a movement to give boob back its original definition?

I was reading this post, not really interested in it, but the two acronyms mentioned are really impressive:

• Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act
• Capital Raising Online While Deterring Fraud and Unethical Non-Disclosure (CROWDFUND) Act

Another well-known (and probably the most fascinating one I have ever read) is the

• Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act

I am really wondering how much time did they spend on naming? Maybe there is a full-time employee for this?

There are a few of acronym generators, not really produce good results. Some requires you enter a list of words, then they gives you combinations; some allow you enter an acronym, then they randomly put some words in. Just not good.

And as Linux user, you can't fail to mention Wine Is Not an Emulator (WINE).
