Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.
But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.
Runk means masturbation in Icelandic so that adds another layer of hilarity to this
Same in Swedish
I'm from the west coast of Canada, a euphemism for jerking off where/when I grew up is "pulling the pud." Moving to the UK had some funny bits...like Christmas Pud...as in pudding(dessert). Pronounced slightly different, but my inner 6 year old had a laugh anyway.
I've heard "shaking hands with the unemployed".

It's a more general English phrase. Could come up with a good insult for transphobes with this though. "Pud CHUDs?"
Well...that's kinda disappointing 😞.
I think we can workshop something out of Pud for transphobes. But it's going to have to be tomorrow for me.
Well, what is it?
If I'm remembering correctly, this phrase was immortalized in a Primus track at one point. There's a weird, short track (or maybe an intro to a longer song?) on "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" that's just one guy singing along with running water, and as I remember them, the lyrics are: "As I stand here in the shower, singing opera and such/pondering the possibility that I pull the pud too much/there's a scent that fills the air; is it flatus? just a touch/and it makes me think of you."
Which apparently is still in my brain, even though I didn't think I've listened to that album since the 90's. My brain is weirdly prone to storing old audio, though.
God...Primus is such a great band. I'll have to dig out my albums and have a listen again.
