Computer Terms For Cajuns


©

The new millenium has brought the language of computer technology to Cajun country, and people in south Louisiana may never be the same again!

Here are portions of an amusing list found in the joke archives of The Daily Iberian newspaper. LOL credit is given to Shelley Champagne for submitting these humorous entries:

" A Cajun's Guide to Computer Terminology "

BACKUP -- what to do when you come across an alligator in the swamp

BUG -- the reason you give the boss when you call in sick

BYTE -- what your pit bull did to Aunt Esther

CHIP -- a meadow muffin you avoid stepping in

CRASH -- what you do when you go to T-Boy's crawfish boil uninvited

DISKETTE -- a female disco dancer

FAX -- what you lie about to the IRS

HARD COPY -- a picture you view before selecting a tattoo

INTERNET -- where cafeteria workers keep their hair

KEYBOARD -- a place to hang the keys to the camp in Grand Isle

MAC -- Broussard's favorite fast food

MEGAHERTZ -- how your head feels after too much beer

MODEM -- what you did to your tall grass

MOUSE PAD -- the condo where Mickey & Minnie live

ON-LINE -- you must stay there during a field sobriety test

ROM -- where the Pope lives

Hope this tongue-in-cheek reading helped you to "pass a good time" here in Suite 101. Happy New Year!
