What is “:-” used for? On a side note, ":-" is used in Swedish (and probably elsewhere – at least in German, I think, but punctuation is hard to search for…) for an amount of money. "123:-" is 123 SEK. The ":-" stands for "and no cents", cf. "123:45" for 123 SEK and 45 cents ("öre"). |

Describe the two parts of a 'T' shaped intersection In typography, it seems the vertical line is a stem and the horizontal line is an arm. Probably not good terms in your case, though. |

What is an alternative to “hairy” for things which don't have hair? This is an awesome list! |

Phrase for observing a rule in a malicious way Swedish and Finnish have the colorful expression to read something like the Devil reads the Bible. |

Word for an object's “desire” @JohnY It's definitely the "usual" term in the the usability field, but you're likely right that many people outside that field wouldn't find it so. |

Does calling an app “the Instapaper” with a definite article suggest a non-technical speaker? Interesting point, thanks! |

Does calling an app “the Instapaper” with a definite article suggest a non-technical speaker? I didn't even think about that statement, but you're right, they did say that. And I suppose they could have been going for a metaphorical "the Instapaper" as you suggest. I think the Tweetbot example was something like "I love the Tweetbot", which I suppose could have been intended to mean the character that is probably in the design somewhere, though if I remember it correctly, it did sound like it was referring to the app. |

Does calling an app “the Instapaper” with a definite article suggest a non-technical speaker? I could try sending this question to the people in the podcast, but it'd be interesting to hear what others make of it first. |

Name and rules of this construction: “A somber man privately, Johnson had an acid humor.” @GEdgar Definitely. I think it was when I saw it two or three times on the first page of a new chapter (after having seen it several times per chapter before that) that I was inspired to write this question. |
