                    @xocolatli @isaactly_s you may be surprised to learn that using a language is only viable if the intended audience understands that language

                                @isaactly_s Honestly, "garbagefighter" sounds pretty awesome. Way better than "garbage collector" or whatever. Anyway, that term's been coopted by the software industry.

                                    @DekaBlack @isaactly_s well if you rather be a 'fisherist' or 'fishingyperson' go right ahead, but 'fisherfighter' (or 'fishfighter') is a total win in my books.
