Commonwealth Hackish
     
        Hacker jargon as spoken outside the US, especially in the
        British Commonwealth.  It is reported that Commonwealth
        speakers are more likely to pronounce truncations like "char"
        and "soc", etc., as spelled (/char/, /sok/), as opposed to
        American /keir/ and /sohsh/.  Dots in {newsgroup} names
        (especially two-component names) tend to be pronounced more
        often (so soc.wibble is /sok dot wib'l/ rather than /sohsh
        wib'l/).  The prefix {meta} may be pronounced /mee't*/;
        similarly, Greek letter beta is usually /bee't*/, zeta is
        usually /zee't*/, and so forth.  Preferred {metasyntactic
        variables} include {blurgle}, "eek", "ook", "frodo", and
        "bilbo"; "wibble", "wobble", and in emergencies "wubble";
        "banana", "tom", "dick", "harry", "wombat", "frog", {fish},
        and so on and on (see {foo}).
     
        Alternatives to verb doubling include suffixes "-o-rama",
        "frenzy" (as in feeding frenzy), and "city" (examples: "barf
        city!"  "hack-o-rama!"  "core dump frenzy!").  Finally, note
        that the American terms "parens", "brackets", and "braces" for
        (), [], and {} are uncommon; Commonwealth hackish prefers
        "brackets", "square brackets", and "curly brackets".  Also,
        the use of "pling" for {bang} is common outside the United
        States.
