Curmbox
Posted May 25th, 2003 @ 08:27pm by Erik J. Barzeski
I think nearly every time I visit Hotmail (I have an MSN account to talk to all of two people) I misread the word "curmbox" in the URL to be something not so, uhhh, "PG."

Sometimes I name variables in code things like "exgf" - particularly if they're used in cases like exgf.cleave(); or something. I always batch rename them later, after I decide what their real purpose is, but it's fun for awhile. "Curmbox" is probably not such a "funny variable name" as I realize what it means… I dunno, maybe I just need to get my head out of the gutter. Yeah, that's it. 🙂

I have the same problem whenever a friend of mine posts news items that are on http://www.thekcrachannel.com/ ...
Every single goddamn time, I think "The Krack Channel... hee hee!"

I've been dealing with the curmbox for years... I assume some wise ass working for msft during the development of hotmail thought it'd be funny... and now it's so deep in the coding it wouldn't be worth the effort to change it.
That, or it is a universal word in the world of the turd burglarizing microsoft. 🙂
Hmm, looked it up... guess it's short for CURrent MailBOX

You guys mean CUMBOX? That's the trash can next to your bed that you throw all the used condoms into.
