interj. Occasional West Coast equivalent of hello world ; seems to have
|
|
|
|
|
originated at SAIL, later associated with the game Zork (which also included
|
|
|
|
|
hello, aviator and hello, implementor ). Originally from the traditional
|
|
|
|
|
hooker's greeting to a swabbie fresh off the boat, of course. The standard
|
|
|
|
|
response is Nothing happens here. ; of all the Zork/Dungeon games, only in
|
|
|
|
|
Infocom's Zork 3 is Hello, Sailor actually useful (excluding the unique
|
|
|
|
|
situation where _knowing_ this fact is important in Dungeon...).
