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

    [–] Linguist@lemmy.world 76 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

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

    [–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 6 months ago

    Madness.

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 8 points 6 months ago

    Now that's insanity

    [–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 6 months ago

    I'm calling the authorities. All of them.

    [–] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Oh shit. Does that stand for file system?

    [–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 39 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    File system table

    [–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 6 months ago

    *File System Table-stab

    [–] clif@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    TIL for me

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 4 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] tourist@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    stab up the word

    [–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 3 points 6 months ago

    Sure we can put that way lol

    [–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 6 months ago

    But it sure is memorable!

    [–] mikyopii@programming.dev 104 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    g-unzip?

    gun-zip

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

    [–] clif@lemmy.world 47 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months 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.

    [–] Artyom@lemm.ee 81 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

    [–] 1984@lemmy.today 23 points 6 months ago

    File stabber is a good name. :)

    [–] rem26_art@fedia.io 65 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

    [–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 55 points 6 months ago

    Go fsck yourself

    [–] ramius345@sh.itjust.works 40 points 6 months ago

    Know what it means. Still call it f stab.

    [–] Lobreeze@lemmy.world 33 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    F-stab easier to say and more fun to say

    I'll die on this hill

    [–] snugglebutt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I'll defend this hill with you

    [–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

    By stabbing

    [–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

    It is what its always been. F stab

    [–] ichbinjasokreativ@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago (3 children)

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

    [–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 6 months ago (4 children)

    Or SQL is Squeal

    [–] UndulyUnruly@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Sacrilege!

    [–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 5 points 6 months ago

    No squeal

    [–] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months 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.

    [–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

    Not sequel?

    [–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months 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."

    [–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    How else would you say /etc ?

    [–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    E-T-C

    et cetera

    [–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 24 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 6 months ago

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

    [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    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)

    [–] palordrolap@kbin.social 12 points 6 months 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.

    [–] recapitated@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

    This meme fscks

    [–] joes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

    it's tune-2fs, right

    [–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

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