Just a helpful resume tip. If you work on something in Brainfuck, put it on your resume as BF. And don't mention the name of your multi-threaded BF environment.

Wonder what to use for MongoDb. "Mongo" is a nasty slur for a person with Downs syndrome in Norwegian

I was told mongoloid was the politically correct term to use instead of retarded lol

Personally I always thought it sounded more demeaning, kinda sounds like some less developed homosapian ancestor, almost like calling someone a neanderthal

I don't think that term has been appropriate for a long time... Wikipedia seems to indicate similarly.

I saw someone on Rocket League use that term as an insult. When I said it was a slur, they said it just meant "stupid", heh. No, buddy... there's a lot more to it than that.

There was a lot more to it than that. Insults tend to gradually lose their meaning until they just become synonyms for "stupid". E.g. "idiot", "dumb", "gay".

I’m hoping the official term of art is either a clusterfuck or a fuckfest?

I'm not going to write the term I saw on a resume, but it starts with a b and may be a Japanese word.

I’m surprised it didn’t make more of a splash.
