[ruby-talk:01323] Re: FAQ: Ruby acronyms

From: "Armin S. A. Roehrl" <Armin.Roehrl@...>

List: ruby-talk #1323
some other mad ideas.. at 1 in the morning with a bottle of wine next to
the screen;
(that's my excuse)
I hope that my brainstorming will inspire you to find sth. better.

some words that start with R, Y, and U
R=Radical, Raise, rather, reach, rebel, reflection, resolve, restless,
respect, revenge, revolt,ride,
rocky, 
Y=yak (for GNU fans), yesterday, yet, yiedl,  young, Yo-Yo,  Yuppie. 
U= upwind, ufo, unapproachable, upon, use, utopian, underdog

now some random combinations. -- fill out the gaps and find better ones!
the first, the Run up, big Yet is my facourite.

Ruby="Run up, big yeti"
     "Run up, better yodel" (Swiss version)
     "Run underdog, beauty  yields"
     "Ruby upwinds, beasts ..   " (beauties and beasts go hand in
hand...)
     "Rather urgent: beer!  yummie" (for the alcoholics.. like
myself...)
            ,believe  "
            ,bet   
     "Reflect upon better Yo-Yos" (that a stupid one)
            ,beware yesterday
            ,beyond
            ,bewitch "  
            ,bizarre yield"  (your code doesn't compile at 4 in the
morning)
            ,blame you"      (that's a really bad one)
            ,bless
            ,bliss
	    ,blip
	    ,blitz       (I had to show that I speak German)
            ,blue Yuppie"
            ,boost yield"
            ,bravado
            ,bore you"  (ok -- that was enough; did I bore you?)

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not all out to get
you.
