Serious question. We had a perfectly serviceable word, yet everyone decided to shift. Is it just that it’s shorter to type?
If so, I feel for your colleagues trying to parse your code when all your variables use abbreviations.

I remember it from the 2000’s. The internet was up and we could all share our own pet names for things or just make up a new word. mIRC and newsgroups were big on that. Weird times but cool for sure. Some of it stuck. I still use the exclamation ‘Blargh’ occasionally.
The first time I remember it was someone from California asked me to ‘code summin’ for their daughter. I had to make sure what they were asking of me before I agreed. 2002 maybe.
