It's fairly likely that my Twitter thread last month (https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1438265897093763074) is indirectly responsible for this.

I use "arse" rather than "butt" due to not being american. After extensive discussion at my last workplace we configured the word replacer browser plugin to replace "cloud" with "arse", enterprise with "garbage" and architect with "clown". It makes marketing and technical docs a much easier read.

"Our senior clown has come up with an arse-based solution, to meet our garbage-tier requirements"

Yeah, that seems about right.

I think this is the first time I've seen a job posting which instead gets someone fired.

I once worked for a company with a name like CompanyCloud and wound up sending an email to a customer saying I worked for CompanyButt. That was an embarrassing day.

This takes the term "backend engineer" to a whole new level

OMG! I'm in my early 40s and I've never thought about 'backend' in this way, until now. And, I can't undo it :-).

Now, I'm thinking - do I have lack of humor or imagination? :-)

Try reading this article with the plugin enabled, i guarantee a lot of fun https://uk.pcmag.com/networking-communications-software/1682...

> What is my butt? Where is my butt? Are we in my butt right now? These are all questions you've probably heard or even asked yourself. The term "butt computing" is everywhere.

Lots of butt fun to be had here haha

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of our lead developers used it at the height of cloud hype. You could always tell which pages of our internal wiki he had edited recently. Amusing at first, but I got tired of it much faster than he did.

You just need a butt-to-cloud extension to counter that.

I like big clouds and I cannot lie.

Fired? This is instant, free and effective publicity for a faceless mega corp. They’ll take it.

The New York Times has run into similar issues in the past: > Because of an editing error involving a satirical text-swapping web browser extension, an earlier version of this article misquoted a passage from an article by the Times reporter Jim Tankersley.
