who called it BGP instead of “fuck around and find route?”
@SecureOwl taken me a good few (confusing) minutes to realise this is much funnier if one pronounces “route” as an American; which is presumably how it’s intended!
@pasquires that’s actually super interesting because I grew up in the U.K. and have been in the states for 12 years now, and it made me realise that when I say route in my thoughts, I say it the American way, and that’s a fairly recent development because I always used to say route the British way. America has altered my brain.
@pasquires @SecureOwl TBF, Americans say it both ways. Route 66 is always “root” (as is “Roto Router”), but here where I live, we say “State Route 138”, pronounced rhyming with “out”. It’s sort of regional.
@SecureOwl @pasquires *Roto Rooter with 2 Os 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
