Codec is a porn word???? it would have taken you longer to write that comment that look it up the right answer.

Codec are how your video and audio is encoded over the internet but I enjoy that you defaulted to a male word must be about porn. Flac/G711/g729/h323 are codec's (audio), infact here is a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_codecs

I was going to explain to you why boys and girls focus on different words. Its to do with world perceptive that is shaped in early childhood but I really cannot be assed to start a chatter with someone that makes pointless observations, and then proceeds to make random comments based of their interruption of basic internet terminology without even looking something up.

I think mseebach means that men people are probably exposed to the word due to the need to watch porn videos and thus learn about codecs, not that it's a word exclusive to porn.

I don't think it's about porn, though, I find the torrented movies explanation more plausible.

That's an unfairly presumptuous and aggressive comment. Give the writer some credit maybe?

"Codec are how your video ... is encoded over the internet"

And video is a format commonly used for pornography, right? Is it so unlikely that someone might have encountered codec issues browsing adult videos online?
