I almost overlooked it when it was just a couple UK guys saying it, I mean I get it we all have our own dialect and I thought that must just be what they called keyboards. (examples http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/library/words2.htm)
I would even understand if it was a regional thing like soda, pop, or coke; however this seems to go deeper than that.
Apparently from the brief history I was able to gleam 'the other word' first became a thing on r/mechanicalkeyboards and has since migrated here.
And I'm going to go ahead and assume some hipster podcast or video series that I know nothing about used the word as well to further its distribution.
I guess I just don't get it....if we like keyboards and we like keycaps we should naturally like typing...wouldn't we want to type out keyboard every time instead of 'the other word'?
So I'm curious do you have an opinion on 'the other word'?
Can you help me understand why anyone would not just say or type keyboard?
AND most importantly do you actually say 'the other word', like out loud, in conversation about your beloved keyboard....do you really call it 'the other word'?

I tend to write how I speak, and oddly I've said keeb in real life. They didn't understand what I meant, but I liked how it sounded and will continue to use it.
Additionally, I use it when talking about "keyboard" or "keyboard-related stuff."

By calling it "the word keeb", you are in effect legitimizing it.

It's "stab" that gets on my nerves. "Stab" is already a word that means something very different, and in this context it just sounds ludicrous.
I have to admit that it took me a long time to get used to "stab" also. I had to relearn what it means two or three times because it's really jarring and not intuitive since it's already word.
Post by: Daniel Beardsmore on Fri, 26 May 2017, 02:53:32
I detest abbreviations and diminutives in general …
I never cared for "board" either, but it's not as bad as "stab". I guess I'm getting used to "app" too, which wasn't easy. "gf" is one I've never cared for — something about caring about a person but being too lazy to type more than two letters. In general, there's just something odd about keyboard enthusiasts who use abbreviations, like typing on their beloved and astoundingly overpriced keyboards is too tedious!
Post by: Auk on Fri, 26 May 2017, 03:11:28
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"

Post by: Targa-TV on Fri, 26 May 2017, 06:00:04
I detest abbreviations and diminutives in general, although I use "board" in a keyboard forum without fear that it will be misinterpreted. I believe that precision and consistency in language is vital to good communication, and "insider slang" and clannishness are particularly irritating to people outside the bubble.
On a similar theme, personal pronouns are absurdly overused these days, and that leads to enormous confusion.
I detest abbreviations overload too but I browse the forum when I procrastinate from m assignments so I tend to use "mkb, "board," and "mech" for "mechanical keyboard" because they give me the illusion of saving time. (I wish.)
I don't use and don't like "keeb" because I figured it's supposed to sound like "keyboard" (???) but I don't hear the kinship between the two words so I refrain from using it. Maybe it's a non-native speaker thing, I don't know, I'll leave the native speakers to it.
About personal pronouns, I don't know if you're referring to my writing, I don't remember discussing anything with out but it's possible, so I'll just say that personal pronouns must be overused in academic writing so I sometimes forget where I'm writing and tend to go all academic style on the Internet.
I know it's repetitive and maybe annoying after a few lines but I can't go from full academy to full "yo fam" style very easily. If you weren't referring to my writing style, feel free to ignore this.

"App" was simply in common use at Apple for desktops so it was natural for them to use for smartphones as well. But nowadays people tend to use "app" stands for smartphone app first, which is bonkers.
Yeah, I remember when using a Mac over ten years ago and rarely hearing the word "app." I thought it was their lazy way of saying applications and thought it dumb.

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.

I regularly clock people saying it three times in the same sentence.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?
thank god I live in a country where that isn't an issue. It'd drive me bonkers
Damn, seems equivalent to when people constantly say "bro" or "listen" :(
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.

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:!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.It's gotten MUCH worse since then!

I hadn't come across this word before, but now that I've seen it I can predict that it is inevitable that it will spread like wildfire.
Unfortunately it has already spread like wildfire. Subreddits dedicated to mechanical boards are full of it and I know at least one online shop named after this term.

I don't see what's wrong with simply saying "board." "Keeb" is weird.

Type of topic I'd expect from ander :pI love the word "keeb". Its use instantly tells me something about it's user. >:D
That they know the difference between "its" and "it's." >:D
LOL, I didn't realize people were talking about me or I would've gotten here sooner.
Yeah, I point out stuff like that now and then. It just seems ironic to me when someone on a keeb forum indicates that they haven't quite learned how to, you know, use a keeb. ("Right, what's this key with the little 'tick' mark for again?")
Keeb needs to be replaced by Koob
My wife had a dog named Koug.
Keeb was created by slang noobs...
Who created "noob" then? More experienced slang peeps? Slang peeps who weren't noobs?

Yeesh, tell me about it... My son finally stopped doing that in his first year at university. (I doubt it was spontaneous.)

According to Urban Dictionary keeb and keebs already have several meanings (http://[url=http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=keebs).

Oh yes, this gets me too. I hear it every day, 3 times or more in the same sentence (I'm in NYC). What gets me worse is that I occasionally insert a "like" where it doesn't belong. I catch it immediately and silently chastise myself. You kind of adopt the language around you. I guarantee if anybody lived in Alabama or North Carolina for a few years they would begin to say "yall."

Personally, I'm still saying "keeb", but I'm willing to b swayed by public opinion. However, one way or another, the "keeb" issue should be resolved.
Keeb.

.. but really though, how often do you have to explain that "no... not piano keyboard, typing keyboards" to people.
So "keeb" was created to differentiate computer keyboards from pianos? That does seem like an important distinction. You wouldn't want to tell someone, "Hand me that keyboard, will you?" and end up having a piano dropped on you. It seems like we should err on the side of caution and maintain this vital, potentially life-saving term.
BTW, did you notice how I typed "I'm willing to b swayed by public opinion" above? I wasn't being trendy with the "b"; I just neglected to type the "e" after it. Doesn't it look cool though? I'm going to learn some of those hip-hop hand signals next, so I can show everyone how independent I am by being just like a bunch of other people.
