- hunter2_ 2y agoThank you! I've been feeling like there was something more appropriate for casual vernacular than "piece" and this is perfect.
- globular-toast 2y ago-oid means "like but not actually". Humanoid = like a human but not. Typhoid = like typhus but not. Factoid = like a fact but not (ie. it's not true).
- analog31 2y agoThanks. Looks like I walked right into one of the laws of the internet: If you try to use terminology to explain something, you will get the terminology wrong.
