Xiong has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

++ for short, unique, easy-to-type nouns.

The winner, thrown in sideways via pointer from CB, is 'hump'. My ++ to all comments and Thank You!

"tt" for "training toy" ooops, tt is taken for a higher purpose... so how about "PHP" for "Pound Hammer Play?" (No higher application found.)	[reply]

Kinda depends upon the point you're trying to make. Positive: Round pegs (for round holes). Fit for purpose. Does one thing well. Negative: Pointless. Dead-end. Oversimplified. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. RIP an inspiration; A true Folk's Guy	[reply] [d/l]

Swiss army chainsaws sound dangerous. Having enough rope can also be risky. Giving a tired grizzley two year old a mallet? I'd call it reckless. Anyways, everybody knows you buy your friends' kids drumkits and trumpets.	[reply]
