How did this get to front page, I wonder. The first paragraph:

  AS befits a company whose name is a play on words, Google (named for the mathematical term
  “googol”) has come up with playful names for its workers. Employees are known as Googlers,
  new employees are Nooglers and gay employees are Gayglers. Now that the company has been around
  for a decade and employs upward of 20,000 people, another group has earned its own name: former
  Googlers are known as Xooglers.


What about it? (warn.: not an EN speaker)


Sounds like something out of a high school newspaper.

(unwarning: not a native en_XX either :)
