Real examples here? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Friend who is not a software person sent me this tweet, which amused me as it did them. They asked if "runk" was real, which I assume not.

But what are some good examples of real ones like this? xz became famous for the hack of course, so i then read a bit about how important this compression algorithm is/was.

Idk who needs to know this, but in Norwegian "runke" means to jerk off. "runk" is the word you add a prefix to in conjugation to get the different inflections

  • runke - jerk off
  • runker - jerking off
  • runket - jerked off

Etc...

also the swedish meme subreddit is called r/unket

and runket translates to "the jerk", as in a noun referring the act of (and/or the result of...) rubbing one out.

Hi, I'm a Finn. We also have a variation of this.

Ronald's Universal Number Kounter sounds like someone did it on purpose.

There's a lot of that in the software world. I'm thinking of gimp.

Graphics Image Manipulation Program, yeah right

You meant suffix, not prefix. But this is pretty funny regardless

Runke is the verb form. Runk is the noun form. You can say "en runk".
