I was shocked when I realized people pronounced it fs-tab lmao

[-] [email protected] 76 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mentally I say Fs-tab because its filesystem table but if I ever say it out loud its f-stab

Now that's insanity

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm calling the authorities. All of them.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Oh shit. Does that stand for file system?

*File System Table-stab

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I've never heard fs-tab in my life. Always f-stab. Hmmm...

Congrats for being one of today's lucky 10000! Sauce

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Was the other way around for me. F-stab just makes no sense.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Idk its just how my brain decided to "chop up" the word if that makes sense

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Sure we can put that way lol

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

But it sure is memorable!

g-unzip?

gun-zip

I used this command way before I used gzip so I didn't put it together.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago

gun-zip just rolls off the tongue better. Two syllables instead of three? Yes, please.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Gun Zip - you literally shoot the gz file and it explodes like a piñata of files all over the dir you gun zipped it in.

[-] [email protected] 82 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, the file stabber, not to be confused with a file system tabulation, which it definitely is not.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

File stabber is a good name. :)

[-] [email protected] 65 points 1 year ago

... it never occurred to me that it could be fs tab

[-] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago

Go fsck yourself

[-] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Know what it means. Still call it f stab.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

F-stab easier to say and more fun to say

I'll die on this hill

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I'll defend this hill with you

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

By stabbing

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

It is what its always been. F stab

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Mental outlaw said that and it just stayed in my head ever since. Just like /etc is 'etsy'.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

SQL has always been Skull in my head. I think it is because I hated it when in college and associated it with dying inside.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Not sequel?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Though I know it means "et cetera" when reading my brain has always "heard" that word - whether in the context of the word "etc." or the computing /etc - as pronounced "ettick." As in, "you need to edit your ettick f-stab file."

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

How else would you say /etc ?

It took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit to realize that it was FS Tab.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Shit, just say f-stab and enjoy someone "correcting" you, only to smile and continue to say it that way.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

f stab is real shit bro

fs tab is for losers.

real men say et-see, not etcetera.

TIL, I had no clue why we call this arbitrary important file a file stab, but fs tab makes sense now. F stab is more fun to say though (but has probably confused more than just me)

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I think I might be the third option: f'ss-tab.

Couldn't tell you where that's from. When I first ran Linux, the year didn't start with a 2.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

This meme fscks

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

it's tune-2fs, right

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

and before that, get the drive name from the "black kid".
