subject: Geeky humor shirts [print this page] Geeky Shirts are the absolute finest! It is like a special brotherhood when you pass by somebody on the street wearing your unapologetically geeky shirt and they giggle. How amazing is it is to know that other people get it and agree with your view on the matter. Many companies by now have seen the infamous RTFM t-shirts. Such a easy little abbreviation has become famous in the IT world. It is pretty much the tribal chant around the office, especially when a tech gets questions like How to I work this USB drive?
Another global favorite is the No, I will not fix your desktop computer t-shirt. Techs are asked ad nauseum if they must fix things. Those requests now last well beyond tech issues. If you even mention that you speak geek, people want you to wire home network, configure their wireless router, sync their video players to everything and configure their cell phones to arm their house. These people are relentless. The i greater than u is a classic because some of the language in a geeks repertoire is related from math. If you do not understand that geek shirt, you were not meant to.
Network techs, a sub crowd of the overall IT culture, are generally the type of geeks that understand the shirt that says, There is no place like 127.0.0.1. The reason that shirt is so entertaining is the fact that the IP Address on the t-shirt is called a loopback address. It basically takes network traffic routes it through the network maze and ultimately returns it to the starting point. Round and round. All in all, geeky t-shirts seem to be the best revenge for nerds, because only other nerds recognize it, and that is pretty great.
