OOC: Quick hexadecimal puzzle!
Mar. 18th, 2010 10:38 amOOC -- I want a word (preferably English, though I'd take other languages if I had to) which can be spelled in hexadecimal numbers and ends in UL or LU (for Unsigned Long). For example, CUL: it's one hex digit (C) plus UL, and is a word in French. Unfortunately, it's a rude word, and I want this to go in a technical manual, so I'd prefer something that's not rude.
Hex digits: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F. You can use, say, 0 for o and 7 for t, but the best answers will not rely too much on this.
Bonus points: if the 0x symbol that goes in front of it makes it funnier, like 0xBEEF for a hex (signed integer) literal, or, um, 0xCUL even.
Reward: The one I like best will get into a formal language manual as an example of an unsigned long integer literal!
