Anyone know of English words that we can use to make a 'domain hack'[0] out of this?

What a cool site, any documentation on other operators?
What I do when looking for words is go to `/usr/share/dict/` and grep for things, for example `grep 'su$' american-english` gives me:

  Amaterasu
  Fujitsu
  Ginsu
  Ieyasu
  Iguassu
  jujitsu
  shiatsu
  tiramisu
All registered.
oh thanks. It was just some toy I made playing with golang and tries a few years back. It uses some linux word file as input, I just forget which. From memory, I think these are all the endpoints...

  /startswith/xyz
  /endswith/xyz
  /contains/xyz
  /anagrams/xyz  - exact match anagrams
  /canmake/xyz - all words that can be made with that combination of letters
.de.su would be THE otaku tld, lol
My first thought is that this TLD would be great for Japanese-language domain hacks, i.e., "i.ta.da.ki.ma.su" for a food- or cooking-related site.

(I just checked; sure enough someone's thought to register that one)

My email hosts on @desude.su domain :)

That's a private Google Apps deploy with about 5 users.

.moe exists already ;)
pant.su used to exist
domainhost.su (you can add an insovietrussia subdomain to help people get the joke).
In multiplayer games and chat, an often used acronym was 'su' short for 'shut up', more formal as the widely used stfu.

I remember using it on IRC once in a while when trying to make a longer, multi sentence point and people kept interrupting me.

So maybe a domain like, whydontyou.su would work. Or, for the more frequent speaker: whyinever.su :)

I hope Stockholm University adopts it
That would free su.se for SUSE Linux, perfect.
pleasedont.su used to be registered, and a friend of mine had aboynamed.su once.
I immediately thought of bing.su: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bingsu

It is taken, but not by Bing.

jiujit.su
Shiat.su.

Shih tzu unfortunately doesn't work, but shit.su does.

tirami.su and go.su are already taken
> tirami.su

Surely lots of puns to be made in Italian, where "su" means "up".
