They probably wouldn't like being called "meathead" either.

Although I'm not sure why meat gets the bad rap; it's not like vegetables or grains are known for their intellectualism.

Not really addressing the core issue, since they probably wouldn't like 'softhead' any better.

I'm aware that women tend to dislike being thought of as meat.
Not sure if most guys have a problem with it.

Personally, I'm quite secure in my meatness, but I have always heard 'wetware' in my circles as well.

Exactly. No one calls a person in a non-responsive state a "meat". Or a "grain" for that matter.

"Meathead" or "cabbagehead" implies that the contents of your skull are something other than brain.

Calling a person "a piece of meat" implies being "just" a piece of meat, that is, a person of utterly no consequence, if they are even treated as a person at all.

Dont like the term photoshop when referring to retouching an image. A lot of work done on images is not done in photoshop. In the industry photoshop is more likely used for manipulated rather than retouched but even that is sloppy inaccurate shorthand.

In photography "capture" has just about replaced "take" as a term referring to the actual moment of image creation with a camera. DSLR has replaced SLR and MFDB has replaced MF.

The funny thing is film was, in a sense, more digital than an electronic sensor. The reason is a silver halide particle was always either exposed and developed or not. It never had any shaded of grey. It was black or it was simply not there after being removed in processing while every sensor site or pixel can display 256 discrete values in 8 bit.

I never though of it that way. Of course, in a more overriding sense, digital IS more digital because those 8 bits always reproduce the exact same state, in the exact same position, while silver halide particles are never QUITE the same shape or size, or in QUITE the same place twice.

The rest of the Wiggles are dead to me, except as objects of my nefarious revenge! All I did was suggest Wags would be better off neutered, and they "Pete Best"ed me! They pushed me out of the (Toot Toot Chugga Chugga) Big Red Car, and pelted me with Fruit Salad (Yummy, Yummy!). After Captain Feathersword (he's on my list as well) made me walk the plank, I floated the oceans alone, weak and unloved.

But now I have grown strong again!
I have become Benevolent Evil Lord 5thWiggle! Mwahahaha!
I will gather my minions!
I will destroy them all, and their little dog too!
I will have my revenge!
I...
I...
I...
...need more Scotch!
