wooosh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends#Cast_and_characters

Parent isn’t wrong. Chandler was a very interesting distributed PIM in (I think) the very early 2000s. It collapsed under the weight of its own ambition but it’s a significant piece of software history, one of those alternative paths.

And yes it’s a TV character too, but Parent isn’t wrong to point out the name collision.

Your're wooshing yourself too. Chandler was a character on Friends. The parent project, Monica, is ALSO a character on Friends.

There is no wooosh in the comment, pal.

1. Knowing (or not knowing) that Chandler is a character on Friends has nothing to do with the comments here.

2. You are the woooshed. "Chauncey", "Bingaling", and "Miss [Chanandler] Bong" are all (semi-obscure) names that were used to refer to Chandler Bing at some point during the series. All suitable alternatives for a project codename. (Not that it matters, because, again whether one knows any of this has nothing to do with the issue being discussed. Your explanation is not exculpatory. It's not an affirmative defense. It's just... nothing. It's like a cow's opinion; it's moo.)

Try, like, reading or something.
