酷。因為有意思啊。

是Douglas Hofstadter 先用的,在集異壁[1]裡面寫了這個縮寫 GOD, "GOD Over Djinn",書成於1976年,後來被稱作recursive acronym [2]。後來駭客們喜歡在命名的時候開這個玩笑,GNU還要晚一點。

[3] Recursive acronym Geek文化的一種而已.個人以為就是好玩,酷而已.
記得似乎是GNU開的這個頭.就是任性~Recursive acronym
  • Most recursive acronyms are recursive on the first letter, which is therefore an arbitrary choice, often selected for reasons of humour, ease of pronunciation, or consistency with an earlier acronym that used the same letters for different words, such as PHP: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor, which was originally "Personal home page". However YOPY, "Your own personal YOPY" is recursive on the last letter (hence the last letter of the acronym had to be the same as the first).
