[Be-bop-a-lu-la, bash-bang-slash]

You don't get off that easy!  Here are three you missed:

	?	quark	Telegraphese
	\	bash	Short for 'backslash'
	^	fang	Looks like one, and rhymes with 'bang'

Haven't you ever done a fang-bash-bang-fang on UNIX?  Or how about a
fang-bash-hash-fang-dash- ... ?

By the way, !<BS>? is an "interrobang", not an "interabang".

Why won't ANSI standardize these names?
