wtfubar

Fork of NetBSD's wtf

History

The wtfubar package was forked from NetBSD's wtf due to differences over what is considered offensive and acceptable to have in the repository, and the scope of the acronyms database. This package maintains the split of the acronyms file into acronyms-o for acronyms which might be considered offensive, and the original syntax within the files. It tracks additions to the original package and merges them here.

Contributions

Yes, please! Let's keep it relevant to the life, the Internet, and computers. This package, its authors, and contributors do not assume that it's all- inclusive, so please send your suggestions. Include some source - Urban Dictionary, Encyclopedia Dramatica, etc. - with your addition, so we're not MSU. Subculture acronyms and abbreviations are acceptable. The whitespace separator for the acronyms files is one tab, not spaces.

License

As with the original wtf package, this package is released under the public domain license.

See Also

The MirOS Project has a web-accessible version of wtf (as CGI) at https://www.mirbsd.org/wtf.htm with a form to look up acronyms online and a download link for their version of the acronyms database, which is similarily uncensored but with a much extended scope (e.g. acronyms in different languages, Morse code, etc).
