Can we stop being childish and start referring to Slashdot normally, like to any other site out there? This makes us look like bunch of butthurt teenagers. Thank you.
I see where you're coming from, but you might as well ask Americans to stop referring to Britons as "Limies" or the French as "Frogs" or "Surrender Monkeys." Memes can, it seems, live forever. And flippancy is too ingrained in mankind. For the Internet user it is tantamount to a birthright.

Thanks for saying that. I've been waiting for that "joke" to die after the second month of being live.

Yes, I know, momentum is a bitch. :-) Can't hurt to try, tough, right?
