Urban Dictionary: aibohphobia

aibohphobia

The irrational fear of palindromes (words that read the same forwards and backwards).

Dude 1: Hey, what’s your name?

Dude 2: Bob.

Dude 1: AAAAAAAAAAH! *Runs and hides behind sofa*

Bob: Wow.

Dude 1: AAAAAAAAAAH! *Runs away and falls down stairs*

This completely stupid fauxbia made me laugh for some reason. There appears to be a real art to writing a successful Urban Dictionary entry. Such entries are often gratuitously vulgar, even when the term being defined is not vulgar. If I weren’t so sick, I’d try to think about it some more.

    Unmarked assignments. Major drafts came in over the weekend so I lost some ground but I know what I need to do for the next few days.

    Making sidewalks to go with the buildings. Tedious but will save time later. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

    I love a little courtyard. I think I’ve made enough #blender3d buildings for now. On to the next phase of my simulation. #medievalyork #mysteryplay

    I’m thinking this is a still from the cringey Season 1 episode of TNG where the natives build a religion around a bag of Starburst candy that falls out of Wesley’s pocket. #design #aesthetics #startrek #tng

    Each building in my #medievalyork simulation has four levels of detail (so that distant objects render faster). #blender3d #mysteryplay #design #cgi
