Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
After Paris mentioned my post in the live chat, I asked ChatGPT to also make an infographic, and this is it:
And this was the text posted in the chat
I want a new, possibly made up word, that is loving toward
a nerd, geek or dweeb without the social stigma.
ChatGPT said:
Absolutely, let's invent something affectionate and stigma-free—a
warm, playful term that celebrates nerdiness instead of teasing it.
Here are some ideas that lean into different tones: cozy, clever,
and a little quirky.
💡 Invented Words for a Lovable Nerd (with zero stigma)
1. Snorble
A soft, squishy word that feels like a hug.
“You adorable little snorble, always quoting Star Trek.”
2. Quibbins
Sounds like a nickname from a fantasy book. Cute, curious, and clever.
“My sweet little Quibbins fixed my computer again.”
3. Nuvvy (from “newbie” + “lovey”)
A gentle, affectionate term for someone passionately curious.
“Don’t worry, my nuvvy, I’ll show you how the code works.”
4. Glintel (from “gleam” + “intel”)
Has a shine to it—perfect for a sharp, radiant mind.
“My glintel figured out the plot twist before the show even hinted it.”
5. Dorkling
A soft twist on “dork,” like duckling or darling, but reclaiming the term.
“Come here, my sweet little dorkling, and tell me about your latest obsession.”
6. Wizbit (from “wizard” + “bit”)
Techy + magical. Great for someone who charms machines or lore.
“That’s my wizbit—always casting spells with spreadsheets.”
Would you like a word that's more romantic, more pet-namey, or
something that could work in casual conversation too?
I can refine based on tone.
ARM originated at Acorn, it was originally the Acorn RISC Machine, used in the Archimedes, the successor to popular, if expensive BBC Micro series.
They eventually spun off the chip division into ARM, which Apple invested in.
Edit: you can still get the original RISCOS to run on the RaspberryPi.
