Whishing
Since Internet slang coinages based on “phishing” are apparently in vogue, I decided to try my hand at it. Whishing: “Posting an indirect comment about some problem you’re having on IRC in the hope that someone will chime in and help you without you asking directly.”
Examples:
plasticmillion wonders why he’s getting strange linker errors when building Spidermonkey on the latest trunk
plasticmillion can’t remember where he put his car keys
plasticmillion could sure go for a pizza
etc.

Good one.
Phishing: playing long, improvisational jam sessions to a paying public with the express goal of making phishing “cool” again.
Knishing: snacking on something that’s wrapped in dough (or just generally snacking on whatever).

When you whish upon .*
Makes no difference the type you are…

I also just thought of a FOSS rock song based on an Aerosmith original. The chorus would go “Talk is cheap, shut up and patch”. Of course, that’s entirely unrelated to the above topic, but I had to get it out of my system. My apologies, etc.

So, how was your pizza?

Well it always tastes better when you manage to trick someone into fetching it for you.
