I remember. When I got my first pager in the I don't know. Late 80s early 90s. My GF at the time used to page me 1111111111 off and on throughout the day and she used to say it meant the "UGLY L WORD!!!"

Active Pascal, Cobol, & RPG Programmers. You could add Perl to that too.


That said, any active Go programmers? I first learned Basic, then C / C++, php, then finally moved on to Python in 1999. Though recently, I've started playing with the Go language.

I like and get annoyed with it. (mainly from my C/C++ and Python experience, but it has some great traits too. It's fast as all get-out compared to all the Python I've written over the last 19 years.

Barefoot kickers or the term "soccer-style kicker." Of course, all kickers are soccer style nowadays, but we don't call them that anymore. The single bar facemask or the double bar one.

You took the words right out of my mouth! And thank you, Sam, as they had no business being there as I have no idea what they mean.

And btw, I don't care for that / between the C's in my moniker, separating Coach form his Couch, but I dig the ++'s.
