Subject: [TUHS] Mushi and Bagu
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 09:51:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJfiPzyu0C+DskvuSVyZOhZSH2EyXn-tsV07HvbBx7=WVCjPGw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Follow-up to Larry's "Mushi! Mushi!" story
(http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2017-February/008149.html).
I showed this to a Japanese acquaintance, who found it hilarious for a
different reason. He told me that a s/w bug is "bagu" -- a
semi-transliteration -- and "mushi" is "I ignore you". So corporate
called, asked for status, and the technical guy said "I am going to
ignore you!" and then hung up.
