Maybe pinging is a Silicon Valley thing, though.
Ping is definitely a Silicon Valley thing. It derives from the Aramaic "pong."

I'll get right on that once I run it up the flag pole while trying to grow the business. I'll ping you when I'm done.

Out of curiousity I asked my SO about his laminated list. I can only remember Ann-Margret (in her 30s) and Selma Hayek. As it is, that's a pretty full list.

We don't fail to realize this we just think it was a lot more than that. A lot more.

Thanks a lot. Now I have Sean Connery in my head: "One ping only, Vasily."
