Holy sh**. I have laughed out loud at some of these posts. Who ever came up with the word dongle either needs to be shot or praised. Shot because it is a silly word, but praised because on a slow day at work I'm getting a kick out of the uses for a dongle (appropriate or not).

If a dongle flops in a forest and no one's there to hear it, is it still flaccid?

It's funny cause it's actually a word commonly used when referencing a/v equipment. Like you may need an adapter to run an iPad to a Projector or a Surface Pro to an Projector. I've on times been asked before giving a presentation, "What type of device will you be using so I know which dongle to bring?". I never found it funny til now. It's the people in the threads ya know. Like a movie is more funny when you watch it with friends than alone.

I bought extras - to have one within reach wherever whenever the mood strikes.

Dongles of the masses: we don't need you! we have our own.

Sisters doin it for themselves.

Some better than others. Isn't competitive dongle dangling in dorms and frat houses?

You will never hear or speak dongle the same way again. Or with a straight face!

This thread is intended to be a slice of life, commiserating, amusing thing.
Not a rant or bash Apple thing.

I am actually surprised there is not an "I lost my dongle" thread yet lol.
