Help, my partner @DevRhiana is learning a technology, but the tutorial she's using keeps shortening the word "container":

this.cnt = Customer.newCnt();

…and so on.

This would normally be fine, but we were both raised Australian, and so keep misreading the abbreviation as a different word which you would use to refer to your best mate in certain social contexts.

I'm worried this is going to spill over into our everyday speech, and I'll start saying such inappropriate things like "yeah nah they're a good container", or "they're alright, but they can be a bit of a container at times".

@pjf an actual line of code. This is how I want to be addressed from now on!
@DevRhiana @pjf I'm going to start calling people "Sick Containers”

@DevRhiana @pjf Have you both seen the recent Honest Government Ad about how the NZ National party is "putting the n back in cuts"?
