    Unfortunately, I can't vote on this poll: there's no "Still don't remember" option. 😞

    It doesn't stand for anything...

    It's a psy-op instantiated by snake sellers suited to serving their insidious spread through surreptitious insertion of sibilant "s" sounds... :-)

    Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.
