postcode file

A file format created by Microsoft in Windows 11 when set to UK English. Normally, when you right-click to compress a file, the context menu says "compress to postcode file" instead of the expected "compress to zip file."

Blimey! Windows 11's translation hiccup has left me in stitches. Trying to zip my files results in a 'postcode file' suggestion. I guess my digital documents are off to afternoon tea with His Majesty's postmen!

Create-a-File

A technique used to make yourself feel like you have gotten work done on a project or essay. Involves opening a new document, putting on a title, and saving it with an appropriate name before getting distracted by more important things.

I tried to write my essay on Parallel Universes, but I ended up pulling a Create-a-File then making myself a sandwich.
