$'error - where did this name for Palin come from?

1. Not sure who coined it

But I believe the name is $'error.

3. ok- I changed it but I still don't get it

I feel so stupid!!!

5. Possibly

$'error = Sarah (pronounced sayr-or) Palin?

7. I think it has multiple meanings

The "$" character has something to do with file names/programming that I'm too ignorant to define. I would assume $'error alludes to Ms. Palin being a system error. As well, the "$" character is an obvious reference to her greed. That's my guess, anyway.

2. sorry, I accidentally unrecc'd

I really didn't mean to, my computer was being freezy!

I've also never seen that name, but I really didn't mean to unrec. I'm sorry.

9. I just rec'd for you

10. Thanks

:wave: With all the drama around here about rec'ing and unrec'ing, I was utterly mortified. Thank you.

12. just came back in--you are most welcome. that unrec thing is so annoying.

4. I still like Balin Palin

I like it so much I created a web site with that domain just to show the world how much normal and smart people hate her.

6. I still like "The quitta from Wasilla"

It's got a poetic quality to it.

8. Crunch Wrap Supreme

That's how I'll always remember her.

If I recall correctly, $’error said Bristol was named after Bristol, Connecticut because that is where Fox News was based. But, of course Fox News wasn’t based there at that time of Bristol’s birth.

So the hits keep coming. She pretty much just makes up whatever best suits the occasion. I’m pretty sure she was the first woman to land on the moon, also, too. The foremost expert in_______ (fill in the blank).

The $ sign for obvious reasons, since that's all she's interested in, and 'error' because she is one. Maybe Alaskans are a little more cognizant (and ashamed, since we elected her) than others, but at least we see the "error" of our ways.


(Mandatory disclaimer -- I did not vote for her...ever.)

13. No idea.

I assumed it was because $ is used as a wild card in some scripting/languages in much the same way * is.
So (wild card)error would imply someone was wrong about absolutely everything.
