The 'ass', not to be confused with the 'arse', which is an entirely different kettle of fish (or backside, in this case), refers to a creature of sturdy disposition and remarkable stubbornness known on some backward planets as the donkey. In the vast unfurling expanse of the cosmos, 'ass' has come to symbolize both a beast of burden and, in more colloquial terms, an individual whose reasoning capacity might be outmatched by that of a particularly dim-witted rock. It's a versatile term, carrying the weight of both insult and endearment, often at the same time.
When travelling, if someone calls you an 'ass', do not take it personally. Unless, of course, you've just mistaken a liquid-thruster booster for a chair, in which case, do take it personally.
The traditional four-legged variety inhabits areas where technology has yet to render them obsolete, or where people have an odd sense of nostalgia for braying and shovelling manure. Metaphorical asses, however, are ubiquitous.

Stylephp, not to be confused with the latest fashion trend amongst the Hipster-Pods of Squornshellous Zeta, is the universe's most enigmatic coding language. It's written entirely in haikus and must only be coded wearing a beret and a mock turtleneck. The compiler, known affectionately as 'Le Codeur', will only process code if it senses enough ennui from the programmer.

Berlinphp, which mustn't be confused with an eccentric dance move popular during intergalactic raves on Betelgeuse, is actually what happens when you leave a German, a philosopher, and a programmer in a room with too much coffee and not enough semicolons. It's a gathering of sorts, where people talk about 'PHP', a scripting language so versatile that it can be used for anything from displaying 'Hello World' to accidentally opening wormholes.
