Can we have a discussion about the word 'keeb'?

[invariance]

Keeb was created by slang noobs.
How about something more creative like a swink (switch plank) or conar (contact array) or, or an ybo (pronounced eeboe and guess where I got that from).

I quite like Swink or Conar

[Daniel Beardsmore]

At least "apps for applications (and "progs" for programs) predates the current meaning, which I think is "some insidious system designed to relieve you of your money and information without you noticing"

: P

[DALExSNAIL]

Old people, the thread.

[yaleman]

Keeb is just like doge and Bae and all those other stupid words that people use which make me want to end them all.

"Bae" can die in a fire too.

[DALExSNAIL]

[Puddsy]

you spend hundreds of dollars on a nice keyboard and then find a way to try and type fewer letters on it

keeb also just sounds awful

Keebs are lit AF in this biznitch amirite fellow enthusiasts?

I really don't care if anybody else uses the word. I just don't.

[ArchDill]

I HATE when people say "keeb" or "keebz."

[Rinsaku]

Henceforth all those who are in favor of the keebs are now known as... keeblers... but really though... "keyboard" is a beautiful word.

What also annoys me is "lube".
Lubricant is a very nice word to type.

Actually I hate overuse of the word "like" more than I hate the word "keeb", come to think of it.

That was a huge pet peeve of mine in the very early 2000's. People still do that?

It's gotten MUCH worse since then! I regularly clock people saying it three times in the same sentence.

We kind of have an equivalent in Danish that people sometimes overuse during conversations. It's not enough to drive me bonkers but some people almost don't say anything else and that does get annoying.

Picked that awful habit from American roommates. I still cringe every time I think a sentence with any like it and try to stall and work my way around that if I can.

My friends in the UK used to say it ALL THE TIME, British English has now basically degraded to Valley Girl speak. Worse, all my international colleagues overuse it when speaking English, too, D:!

I'm going to tell you what my parents once told me:

I can't believe your generation is going to take care of us.

The longer I live the more I understand what they meant.

Damn, seems equivalent to when people constantly say "bro" or "listen"

What about mech as an alternative? I know it's not the same, but most of us are proud of their mechanical keyboards, not of the non-mechanical keyboards they own.

I find the use of 'listen' to begin a sentence the height of rudeness.
We are having a conversation which already means that I am listening!  Just because you were raised by socially inept siblings doesn't mean everyone else you converse with is the same!

Sorry, I don't know where that came from.

The epitome of language weaponization I tell ya. Over 'bro' and over 'listen' needs to stop. My right eye is already smaller from twitching so much, c'mon

Ne desu ne?
Ba, då'ra, liksom.

Ok, since we're venting all words and not only concentrating on keebs, I wanna address how much it annoys me how some pronounce the letter H. It's a soft letter, I don't know where people got the idea to emphasise the H like Stewie saying cool whip.

ok, point taken. but as the article mentions, it started to merge in the 13th century and by the 18th it was fully accepted / merged in educated speech too... sooo, the fact that we're using keyboards as an interface to directly communicate with each other indicates to me, that we're at least in the 20th century. My point still stands...

[Daniel Beardsmore]

You must have skipped past all the bits about it being dialectal now.

not skipped, actively ignored... 

No I get it, but it still annoys me since that's not how I learned it at school and thusly just sounds off to me. (But that's just my opinion)

People might think it's Battletech talk (or some other mecha series) .

Sometimes there are exceptions to the rule. This is not one of those times. Navi kills me  :))

[DuckNorris]

I have never used that word and this is the first time I have seen mention of it. I frequent keyboard stuff a lot too, maybe I am not as addicted as others or have been spared of such word usage? I wouldn't use it myself don't like how it sounds but that's just me.

[Meyvn]

Here's a novel idea: we're typists. We ostensibly enjoy typing. "Keyboard" shouldn't take meaningfully longer for us to type. Even in speech, it's one thing to use exclusive jargon when you're getting deeper in. Putting it right up front, referring to the very name of our hobby's object with a made-up in word is idiotic. Particularly a made-up word as stupid as "keeb."
