reticulating splines

Nonsense technobabble used in a production context.

Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.

Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.

See also processor gremlins for the computer hardware equivalent.

Sorry the video took so long to upload. Reticulating splines took hours!

reticulating splines

v.
A necessary computation performed by numerous Maxis Sim games. Content simply cannot be generated without meticulous reticulation.

See: reticulatingsplines on ytmnd for further information.

I just generated a random map, but had to wait for the game to finish reticulating splines.

splinkey

splinkey is an alternative word for schplino; usually harsher on terms. A splinkey is characterized by being a cockamole, a ziggurat, and a schplino: forming an ultimate whirlwind of trio terms, causing splinkey. Splinkey is a goofball and looks like a box or like an angry bird ready to explode!
