Whaaaatttt the hell is that you say? Well, you’re staring at it. That little “at” thingy we use about 3,000 times every day in our emails. The Serbs call it, Majmunce. Which loosely translated means: The Little Monkey. (Eerily similar to the Keanu Reeves film, Little Buddha.) Surprisingly in many countries though, the monkey theme is a popular one.
Check out the rest of the names here. Either way, no matter what animal or object name you assign it, it’s an interesting history of something we both use, and overlook. (Courtesy of giussani.com.) And you Swedes. Crazy.
