I was rummaging around my hard drive and found this item of entertainment posted in 1997 by Joe Lacey under the heading Cultural education. Enjoy.
Hi Folks... Since we are all over the place (USA and Beyond), one of the more interesting aspects of RVing is meeting other folks. Another is laughing at ourselves. With that in mind, here's how computer jargon is interperted by one of our cultural icons... Rednecks:
Redneck Computer Lingo
LOG ON: Making the wood stove hotter
LOG OFF: Don't add no more wood.
MONITOR: Keepin an eye on that woodstove.
DOWNLOAD: Gettin the farwood ofn the truck.
MEGA HERTZ: When you're not careful gettin that farwood ofn the truck.
FLOPPY DISK: Whatcha git from tryin to carry too much farwood.
RAM: Thats the thing whut splits the farwood.
HARD DRIVE: Gettin home in the winter taim.
PROMPT: Whut the mail ain't in the winter taim.
WINDOWS: Whut to shut in the winter taim.
SCREEN: Whut to shut when it's black fly season.
BYTE: Whut them dang flys do.
CHIP: Munchies fer the TV
MICRO CHIP: Whuts left in the munchie bag.
INFARED: Whur the left over munchies go. Fred eats em.
MODEM: Whutcha did to the hay fields.
DOT MATRIX: Ol' Dan Matrix's wife.
LAP TOP: Whur the kitty sleeps.
KEYBOARD: Whur ya hang the dang keys.
SOFTWARE: Them dang plastic knifes and forks.
MOUSE: Whut eats the grain in the barn.
MAIN FRAME: Holds up the barn roof.
PORT: Fancy flatlander wine.
ENTER: Northern for come on in y'all.
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY: When you caint remember whut ya paid for yer new rifle when your wife asks.
