Mentally I say Fs-tab because its filesystem table but if I ever say it out loud its f-stab
Now that's insanity
I'm calling the authorities. All of them.
Oh shit. Does that stand for file system?
File system table
*File System Table-stab
I've never heard fs-tab in my life. Always f-stab. Hmmm...
Was the other way around for me. F-stab just makes no sense.
Idk its just how my brain decided to "chop up" the word if that makes sense
stab up the word
Sure we can put that way lol
But it sure is memorable!
g-unzip?
gun-zip
I used this command way before I used gzip so I didn't put it together.
gun-zip just rolls off the tongue better. Two syllables instead of three? Yes, please.
Gun Zip - you literally shoot the gz file and it explodes like a piΓ±ata of files all over the dir you gun zipped it in.
Ah yes, the file stabber, not to be confused with a file system tabulation, which it definitely is not.
File stabber is a good name. :)
... it never occurred to me that it could be fs tab
Go fsck yourself
Know what it means. Still call it f stab.
F-stab easier to say and more fun to say
I'll die on this hill
I'll defend this hill with you
By stabbing
It is what its always been. F stab
Mental outlaw said that and it just stayed in my head ever since. Just like /etc is 'etsy'.
Or SQL is Squeal
Sacrilege!
SQL has always been Skull in my head. I think it is because I hated it when in college and associated it with dying inside.
Not sequel?
Though I know it means "et cetera" when reading my brain has always "heard" that word - whether in the context of the word "etc." or the computing /etc - as pronounced "ettick." As in, "you need to edit your ettick f-stab file."
It took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit to realize that it was FS Tab.
Shit, just say f-stab and enjoy someone "correcting" you, only to smile and continue to say it that way.
TIL, I had no clue why we call this arbitrary important file a file stab, but fs tab makes sense now. F stab is more fun to say though (but has probably confused more than just me)
I think I might be the third option: f'ss-tab.
Couldn't tell you where that's from. When I first ran Linux, the year didn't start with a 2.
This meme fscks
and before that, get the drive name from the "black kid".
it's tune-2fs, right
Its FS Tab never knew
