"Nub" tending towards "Nipple", in my part of the world. Transcript How to refer to the pointer thing on laptop keyboards: Very formal: TrackPoint™-style pointer Formal: Nub Informal: Nipple mouse Very informal: Clit mouseĪdd a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments! Discussion
The title text notes that Randall prefers pointing sticks to touchpads. The more informal two are nub and nipple mouse (referencing breasts), with the last, most informal being clit mouse, a reference to clitoris (part of the female genitalia). It is obviously the most formal of the four names. Other manufacturers have alternative names for their implementations, and typically use diferent colors. They are usually colored red, as in the comic. "TrackPoint" is the trademarked term used by IBM (and later Lenovo) for the pointing stick implemented on ThinkPad laptops. This stick was an alternative to a mouse, but has largely been supplanted by the touchpad. This is a simple comic offering increasingly not-safe-for-work names for a laptop's pointing device. Title text: I know a lot of people hate these, but I prefer them to touchpads.
