    Shocking but not everybody knows everything.

    Pop quiz:

    • ASL (Not American Sign Language)
    • Sounding
    • TCP/IP
    • What does the K stand for when referring to the music of Mozart
    • IATA

    Edit: Answers

    • Age, sex location. Old school Internet days.
    • Sounding. Urethral sounding. 😣
    • Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. It’s one way that packets move through a network. Another would be UDP.
    • Köchel. is the person that chronologically catalogued Mozart’s music.
    • International Air Transport Association. Sets technical standards for airlines.

      Age, sex and location.

      Putting things into the urethra (urethra play)

      No idea

      No idea

      You’re the asshole (I joke)

      Back to the original post, I’d be genuinely surprised if anyone over the age of 30 does not know what BDSM is.

        Sounding is measuring the depth of something. Sounding rods used to be a stick you put into a tank to identify how deep the liquid was in the tank, sometimes with marks on the rod. Maybe I’m just old.

        Nice. Nice. Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (one of the ways traffic moves over a network). Köchel Catalogue, named after the dude that first catalogued Mozarts work. International air transport association.

      For the mozart one, i always thought it was some german word for counting… it is not. K or KV stands for the name of someone who started cataloging mozarts repertoir in composition order. So it stands for Köchel Verzeichnis (Köchel catalogue) or just Köchel…

      So now that I know that the K stands for a random dude, i prefer Bach’s numbering BWV, which stands for Bachswerkeverzeichnis or catalogue of bach’s works or compositions

      Yes Yes Yes No Yes

      I mean true, not everyone knows everything, although I would have said that is something almost everyone knows, like the first question at Who wants to be a millionaire. But I mean it’s fine if someone doesn’t know that, it was just a bit baffling to me at first.
