Decide on new backronym for KSS

Open JohnAlbin opened this issue 8 years ago • 10 comments

From #116:

Finding another acronym for KSS. Knyle Style Sheets was always meant to be silly, but a lot more people ended up using this than I imagined. I wouldn't mind something less silly.

Please post suggestions in the comments below. @kneath will be the final arbiter of the new backcronym.

FYI, "backcronym" is when you've decided on the acronym before you've decided on the meaning of the acronym. So we will keep "KSS", but change the meaning of it.

Just to get the ball rolling, I'll start off with some suggestions

  • katabolic style sheets: "the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones"
  • katana style sheets: "a long, single-edged sword used by Japanese samurai"
  • keg style sheets: "a small barrel"
  • key style sheets

And, yes, I'm just going through the dictionary. "K" is hard! kangaroo? Kardasian? kerfuffle? kebab?

Doesn't tradition insist that the obvious choice is "KSS Style Sheets" !?

I like both "Knowable Style Sheets" and "Keen Style Sheets"
