|
|||
|
|
i.e., calling attention to the fact that they are being used in a
|
|||
|
|
nonstandard, ironic, or humorous way. Originated in the fannish
|
|||
|
|
catchphrase “<span class="quote">Bheer is the One True Ghod!</span>” from decades ago.
|
|||
|
|
H-infix marking of ‘Ghod’ and other words spread into the 1960s
|
|||
|
|
counterculture via underground comix, and into early hackerdom either from
|
|||
|
|
the counterculture or from SF fandom (the three overlapped heavily at the
|
|||
|
|
time). More recently, the h infix has become an expected feature of
|
|||
|
|
benchmark names (Dhrystone, Rhealstone, etc.); this is probably patterning
|
|||
|
|
on the original Whetstone (the name of a laboratory) but influenced by the
|
|||
|
|
fannish/counterculture h infix.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="../H.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../H.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="ha-ha-only-serious.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">H<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>ha ha only serious</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
