Well now! It certainly seems much has occurred while I was abed and then tending to the matter of earning my living. Now that I have a few minutes to devote to stuffing my pie hole, it's nice to see my post and the responses thereto garnered at least some small interest.
First and foremost, thanks to FEENIX for offering the initial explanations and making them clear. While my original post was meant to be somewhat humorous, I really was curious about how things came about. And I learned something in the process, which is good.
Second and midmost, thanks to all of the humorous posts. I like laughing.
Last and certainly least, because something has to be least, an apology for any controversy, real or perceived, that resulted. I wasn't suggesting the term or its initialized representation should be changed; just wanted to know why it is called what it's called. I didn't expect folks to get their shorts in a wad, but after only a few months frequenting this site I probably should have known better.
Seriously, let's try not to take ourselves too seriously.
