Gopher Search

Gopher lets you search for resources using menus. It originated at the University of Minnesota which has (as you guessed it) a gopher for a mascot. Insted of accessing with the adress of the domain, you select any entry in a gopher menu and like the human "gofers' of the world, Gopher goes out for the material you want. Gopher is like a regular library subject catalog and it will search for the holdings of many libraries for your subject.
gopher fatty.law.cornell.edu which is the Cornell Legal Information Institute of Cornell Law School.

edu - educational institute

other domain adresses are as follows:
com - commercial and buisness
gov - government institutions
mil - military institutions
net - network recorces
org - other organizations

If you're confused thus still on how gopher searches operate. See your system administrator, media specialist, brilliant friend or librarian for help!

Gopper

The sort of bird that you get matched with on dating sites. Never mind that you're a thirtysomething singleton who's still got their ex from 6 years ago on a pedestal, with the beginnings of male pattern baldness and a teeth that haven't been whitened, honest!

A gopper tends to that girl that you went with when you were 17 because you knew she would put out on the way home from burger king.. Not generally known for their looks or litheness, their elegance, or decent binocular vision. A gopper is considered as undesireable by your initial, superficial inbox-based reckonings, but if truth be known, a little mouth-breathing and obsessing over unicorn paraphernalia is offset by the ease with which you find your fingers entering her foaming, slightly sweaty smelling vagina in the corner of the cinema car park.. You dirty boy.
