I'd have to go with fork. I once wrote an application which involved a forking Soap server... I could hardly say the words "forking Soap server" without giggling uncontrollably.

    Hehe yeah I had a similar experience. I had an OS professor with a pretty bad french accent who was trying to explain forking a process: "When you want to have children, you have to fork" And he couldn't understand why we would laugh everytime he explained it, so he repeated it often. :)

      Reminds me of my probability & statistics prof in college. He'd explain some problem about coin flipping, and then ask loudly in his middle easrern accent: "So what is the probability of getting head?"

      and of course we'd laugh & laugh - a least the 4 of us that got the joke. (not that the prof ever understood why we were laughing)

      I use the most powerful debugger available: print!
