We called him clippy at the time. His official name didn’t mean that’s what we called him. “Fuck off Clippy” is something my father and I said to each other until he died. It was a shorthand we ended up using for just about any bloatware we needed to get rid of to get a computer to work how we wanted.
It’s always so funny to me that he was originally named “Clippit” , but we all collectively mandala-effected him into Clippy in our shared memory. 😂

There was an app that let you shoot him when he appeared.
I guess it’s kinda like blowing into the NES cartridge when it won’t load. Everyone did it, but no one knows how it started.
