I believe the word is "paste" and you can link instead.

- monadgonad 6y agoSomeone's addressed the "paste" part so I'll address the rest: the vast majority of people are not going to want to click on a link to a short post in the middle of an HN discussion. The content belongs here, not behind a link, and mentioning that it's a copy of what the user has said elsewhere is a courtesy to us.
