commonwealth hackish
(foldoc) | Commonwealth Hackish
Hacker jargon as spoken outside the US, especially in
the British Commonwealth. It is reported that Commonwealth
speakers are more likely to pronounce truncations like "char"
and "soc", etc., as spelled (/char/, /sok/), as opposed to
American /keir/ and /sohsh/. Dots in newsgroup names
(especially two-component names) tend to be pronounced more
often (so soc.wibble is /sok dot wib'l/ rather than /sohsh
wib'l/). The prefix meta may be pronounced /mee't*/;
similarly, Greek letter beta is usually /bee't*/, zeta is
usually /zee't*/, and so forth. Preferred {metasyntactic
variables} include blurgle, "eek", "ook", "frodo", and
"bilbo"; "wibble", "wobble", and in emergencies "wubble";
"banana", "tom", "dick", "harry", "wombat", "frog", fish,
and so on and on (see foo).
Alternatives to verb doubling include suffixes "-o-rama",
"frenzy" (as in feeding frenzy), and "city" (examples: "barf
city!" "hack-o-rama!" "core dump frenzy!"). Finally, note
that the American terms "parens", "brackets", and "braces" for
(), [], and {} are uncommon; Commonwealth hackish prefers
"brackets", "square brackets", and "curly brackets". Also,
the use of "pling" for bang is common outside the United
States.

commonwealth hackish
(jargon) | Commonwealth Hackish
n.
Hacker jargon as spoken in English outside the U.S., esp. in the British
Commonwealth. It is reported that Commonwealth speakers are more likely to
pronounce truncations like ‘char’ and ‘soc’, etc., as spelled (/char/, /sok
/), as opposed to American /keir/ and /sohsh/. Dots in newsgroup names
(especially two-component names) tend to be pronounced more often (so
soc.wibble is /sok dot wib'l/ rather than /sohsh wib´l/).
Preferred metasyntactic variables include blurgle, eek, ook, frodo, and
bilbo; wibble, wobble, and in emergencies wubble; flob, banana, tom, dick
, harry, wombat, frog, fish, womble and so on and on (see foo, sense
4). Alternatives to verb doubling include suffixes -o-rama, frenzy (as in
feeding frenzy), and city (examples: “barf city!” “hack-o-rama!” “core dump
frenzy!”).
All the generic differences within the anglophone world inevitably show
themselves in the associated hackish dialects. The Greek letters beta and
zeta are usually pronounced /bee't@/ and /zee´t@/; meta may also be
pronounced /mee't@/. Various punctuators (and even letters - Z is called
‘zed’, not ‘zee’) are named differently: most crucially, for hackish, where
Americans use ‘parens’, ‘brackets’ and `braces' for (), [] and {},
Commonwealth English uses ‘brackets’, ‘square brackets’ and ‘curly
brackets’, though ‘parentheses’ may be used for the first; the exclamation
mark, ‘!’, is called pling rather than bang and the pound sign, ‘#’, is
called hash; furthermore, the term ‘the pound sign’ is understood to mean
the £ (of course). Canadian hacker slang, as with mainstream language,
mixes American and British usages about evenly.

commonwealth
(devil) | COMMONWEALTH, n. An administrative entity operated by an incalculable
multitude of political parasites, logically active but fortuitously
efficient.
This commonwealth's capitol's corridors view,
So thronged with a hungry and indolent crew
Of clerks, pages, porters and all attaches
Whom rascals appoint and the populace pays
That a cat cannot slip through the thicket of shins
Nor hear its own shriek for the noise of their chins.
On clerks and on pages, and porters, and all,
Misfortune attend and disaster befall!
May life be to them a succession of hurts;
May fleas by the bushel inhabit their shirts;
May aches and diseases encamp in their bones,
Their lungs full of tubercles, bladders of stones;
May microbes, bacilli, their tissues infest,
And tapeworms securely their bowels digest;
May corn-cobs be snared without hope in their hair,
And frequent impalement their pleasure impair.
Disturbed be their dreams by the awful discourse
Of audible sofas sepulchrally hoarse,
By chairs acrobatic and wavering floors --
The mattress that kicks and the pillow that snores!
Sons of cupidity, cradled in sin!
Your criminal ranks may the death angel thin,
Avenging the friend whom I couldn't work in.
K.Q.

COMMONWEALTH
(bouvier) | COMMONWEALTH, government. A commonwealth is properly a free state, or
republic, having a popular or representative government. The term has been,
applied to the government of Great Britain. It is not applicable to absolute
governments. The states composing the United States are, properly, so many
commonwealths.
2. It is a settled principle, that no sovereign power is amenable to
answer suits, either in its own courts or in those of a foreign country,
unless by its own consent. 4 Yeates, 494.
