For the record, the original term "O-Day" was coined by a dyslexic security engineer who listened to too much Harry Belafonte while working all night on a drink of rum. It's true. Really.
That's not true at all; after leaving the Little Rascals TV show, William Thomas (Buckwheat) entered the fledgling field of security research. Whenever he'd discover a vulnerability, he'd shout "O-tay!". His peers soon started calling vulnerabilities "O-tays" and through typos and accents it eventually morphed into "O-days".
