To you, "WAP" is:

@neil youre an adult no one will scold you for saying pussy

@rachaelspooky Thanks! I am new here.

@neil all three, I'm somehow in a weird generation

@neil “The baby internet”

@neil it’s the first for me, but as someone who works with Wi-Fi, since the release of a certain song, hearing people talk about the placement of WAPs gives me an noticeable twitch.

@Wifiwits Somewhere, I have a vintage promotional Christmas card wishing me a WAPpy Christmas, and it just doesn't feel the same any more.

@neil
All of the above?

@lanodan I guess that it boils down to the same thing!

@neil WAF is the British version.

@dalias Well that won't confuse any web security people :)

@neil Web Application Proxy

@neil @rachaelspooky idk, imo the poll is funnier in the indirect way you referenced Cardi B's song lmao!

@bc_socials @rachaelspooky That was indeed the plan :)

@Webwasp I've not heard that term before. Is it the new "reverse proxy"?!

@neil @rachaelspooky thought as much. Thanks for the laugh mate lol

@neil This very much shows the age demographic of Mastodon inhabitants :D

@neil WAP is how I used to know when my last train was going to leave when I was in the pub

@neil
Since I'm tired, my first thought was "Wide Area Petwork" and my second was "Work And Progress"

@neil rachel harper’s one WAP twelve voices https://youtu.be/driZkmZKrw0

@neil Bring a bucket and a mop for this wireless access point

@neil do you all remember developing WAP enabled commerce circa ‘99-00 to buy things online? Allowed for pay and pickup at petrol stations 🤪😕☺️

@neil It's a song but it definitely mentions cellular protocols...

@neil

@neil
1. I blame @maartje 😀

WET ASS PUSSY

this is the fediverse, son. say it loud, say it proud.

@neil

@neil I can no longer vote as the poll has ended but “wireless application protocol”… I call wireless access points “APs” without the W. To avoid confusion.
