What is a Zombie? Why are Code Reviewers so violent and talking about killing Zombies all the time? And what ammo are they talking about? What is a TS? What does RSA mean?
And what other Code Review-specific memes are there?
(As the number of memes grows and grows, and Malachi's wish to vote for the memes more than once, this really ought to have its own meta-question)
Please provide only one, or just a few tightly-coupled, memes per answer.
Meme: s/old message/new message/
Originator: Unknown
Cultural Height: The 2nd Monitor.
Background:
Often in chat, a user will type something like this:
s/funny/annoying/
In response to what another user said as a "joke edit". Occasionally it is actually used to correct spelling.
The meme comes from GNU's SED.
Meme: Here Be Pedants
Originator: Mat's Mug
Cultural Height: The 2nd Monitor, Meta
Background: Originally introduced by Mat's Mug in an answer on meta,
it got quickly adapted into chat by Dan Pantry, Zak, Mast and possibly other regulars where it mutated from a proud declaration "Don't get me wrong, a lot of Code Review regulars are complete pedants. We love being pedantic" into a warning, leaning on "Here Be Dragons"
Beware: Here Be Pedants
Meme: Skiwi (verb), e.g. "skiwi'd"
Originator: IvenBach (?)
Cultural Height: VBA Rubberducking
Background: Skiwi has long been renowned to consistently have well over 1000 open tabs in his browser. "To skiwi something" means to open a browser tab and leave it opened to get back to it... eventually.
Meme: fizzbuzz
Originator: ??? (Probably Mat'sMug, or maybe indirectly Jeff Atwood's blog post)
Cultural Height: Current
Background: It's famously been said that a language cannot be considered a proper language on Code Review until someone has written a FizzBuzz for that language.
