In which we take a wild guess on what things really mean.

[snacks]

First word:

Monkey-patching.
















(shortly after a few guesses I'll post the true definitions, if it gets that far.)

[Lawr]

I have a feeling this one is dirty. . .

[snacks]

No! No! It's clean I swear!

Take a wild guess!

[Flying Mullet]

That's what Jojee's mom used to do when Jojee would fall down and skin her knee.

[Lawr]

Shaving pubes?
(That's not the dirty guess I was thinking about though lol)

[snacks]

Ok ok, here's the definition of monkey-patching:


A monkey patch (also spelled monkey-patch, MonkeyPatch) is a way to extend or modify runtime code without altering the original source code for dynamic languages (e.g. Smalltalk, Javascript, Ruby, Perl, and Python).

They are also referred to as:

* Guerrilla patch
* Extending previously declared classes
* Reopening classes
* Hijacking
* Duck Punching
* Method Swizzling


Next word: pneumatic tire

[Flying Mullet]

So it's like extending a class in Java?

[snacks]

Yeah, I guess so. I'm just learning about it myself, and I figured I don't know how many people on this board program so a word like monkey patching might make people think of "flinging poo" or something.

I don't know.

[Garnie]

rofl thats what i thought lols

[snacks]

See! Fun had by all!

So the second word is up now: pneumatic tire

[Lawr]

Getting tired from a sickness?

[snacks]

[trumpet from price is right plays]

Oh I'm sorry!

Any other guesses? I realize this may seem spammy, but in an attempt to bring some life to the board I really didn't/couldn't think of anything else.

Bring on the kooky answers!

[Balzac]

It's something to do with railways, or something. I remember Radical_Dreamer talking about them. He works in the railway industry. I don't know.

[Flying Mullet]

I keep trying to think of some machine that uses pneumatics getting exhausted, but I've got nuthin'.

[snacks]

Wikipedia says:


pneumatic enclosures used to protect and enhance the effect of wheels.

Ok I'm done, anyone else have any words with kooky meanings or could conjure up what people think are kooky meanings?

EDIT: Ok one more: Mental tubercle

[Lawr]

Retardedness?

[Quindiana Jones]

It's a cross between a large brass instrument and a barnacle that has schizophrenia.

Also, I just pooped with joy at my spelling schiz right first time. :D

Rofl. Best answer ever.

[Balzac]

It's part of the mandible. Some triangle bit that folds over to create the Mental tubercle.

[snacks]

Ding ding!

[Quindiana Jones]

My answer was, though incorrect, better.
