I'm with blackbyrd on the dubdubdub thing. I almost never call it the World Wide Web*. I like calling it "the Intertubes" or "the Interbutts", myself.
*The only time I remember referring to it as such is when quoting this old... program thing... that my dad found. It's just an image of a microphone with a face ranting with this whiny, nasal voice over it complaining about AOL, looping forever. I swear I was under the age of ten the last time I heard it. And even after all these years, I've still got it memorized.
"How come AOL's always busy? It took me FOREVER to log on! When's AOL gonna fix that PROBLEM? Who's gonna answer my QUESTION? Who's typing? This is confusing! WHY do I keep hearing sounds? I don't have mail! Somebody asked for my password, I gave it out, is that bad? Guide! Guide! How do I get to the World Wide Web, I don't get it-- how-- what's my address? Can I add names to my account? Who's gonna answer me? Were you talking to me? Guiiide, GUIIIIIIDE!"
