Shibboleet Tech Support

xkcd strikes again with a hilarious cartoon.

But this time, they used an awesome Biblical reference, the word Shibboleet, which is the Hebrew word Shibboleth and leet mixed together.

The word literally just means the part of a plant containing grains, such as an ear of corn or a stalk of grain, but in the Bible the Gileadites used this word to distinguish themselves from Ephraimites, who were incapable of pronouncing the word.

Now that’s some awesome high brow humor!.
