HP-SUX

HP-SUX /H-P suhks/ n.  Unflattering hackerism for HP-UX,
   Hewlett-Packard's UNIX port, which features some truly unique
   bogosities in the filesystem internals and elsewhere (these
   occasionally create portability problems).  HP-UX is often referred
   to as `hockey-pux' inside HP, and one respondent claims that the
   proper pronunciation is /H-P ukkkhhhh/ as though one were about
   to spit.  Another such alternate spelling and pronunciation is
   "H-PUX" /H-puhks/.  Hackers at HP/Apollo (the former Apollo
   Computers which was swallowed by HP in 1989) have been heard to
   complain that Mr. Packard should have pushed to have his name
   first, if for no other reason than the greater eloquence of the
   resulting acronym.  Compare {AIDX}, {buglix}.  See also
   {Nominal Semidestructor}, {Telerat}, {Open DeathTrap},
   {ScumOS}, {sun-stools}.
