The following amusing entries were posted on london.pm-list but
I haven't seen them here, so without further ado:
Greg McCarroll:
pbc could be shortened to pb, which has two meanings
precompiled byte code and pretty boy, as in "who is
a pretty boy, *squawk*
I'm guessing that the assembler code is not 8-bit,
so we cannot make a .po8 as in "pieces of 8", aka parrot
opcodes 8-bit, or some such tomfoolery
.seed is always good as something that parrot can
swallow up nicely
precompiled code could have the extension .dead as in
the parrot code is dead, it is dead parrot code, it
is not running
if we ever have safe and unsafe code where we check
parity, we could have .pcc , parrot-y checked code
(ok that was really bad)
if ingy ever does anything like Inline for parrot,
it could be called parott-ing
(i better stop soon)
.parrots is quite lame, but could be parrot source
.feather could represent light to run code, as in
precompiled bytecode
ok, thats bad enough
Patrick Carmichael:
Parrot stuffit files for Macs would be .psit
My daughter suggests .pex files - for executables, perhaps?
Lucy McWilliam:
.rip?
