Don't you ever watch Wheel of Fortune? They always say ampersand for the Before and After category.

& = Ampersand
~ = Tilda
@ = AT
*= Asterisk
^ = circumflex or carot

' = apostrophy
`= reverse quote mark...

Probably a webpage w/ a list of 'em all but don't feel like searching. I did search, here's a bunch of 'em:

Heh, I thought AT was the slang term for that one, didn't mention it. I guess it happened to be the right word.

Heh ^ i had a physics proffesor that called that either "hat" or "circumplex." Its also called called carot (in french its a punctuation called carrot)

Edit: Heh, circumflex makes more sense, circumstance didn't sound right. Still the proff called it circumplex.

D'oh. I read it right and typed it wrong. What an unusual circumflex.

Actually, in French it's called an "accent circonflex" IIRC.

Your l33t names for ASCII characters:

! = bang
" = rabbit ears
# = thud
% = grapes
& = pretzel
( ) = wax and wane
* = splat
: = two-spot
< > = crunch and zap, or suck and blow
? = hunchback
@ = vortex
^ = fang
{ } = left and right squirrely

 

[RossMAN]

~ squiggly mark is the technical term

Other than bang, which I've heard used by other people, do you get made fun of for calling a colon a "two-spot"?
