That reminds me of Slashdot (http://slashdot.org = “aitch-tee-tee-pee colon slash slash slash dot dot org”).

Thank you. I've been puzzled by that name for literally decades. I always assumed it was a *nix pathname joke about ./ and couldn't figure out why the order was reversed.

From the horse’s mouth:

> What does the name "Slashdot" mean?

> "Slashdot" is an intentionally obnoxious URL. When Rob registered the domain http://slashdot.org, he wanted a URL that was confusing when read aloud. (Try it!)
