gollark: Well, in recent weeks we have launched a project to spread apioforms further, hence "thou shalt not suffer apioforms to live".
gollark: I think the first prefixed versions of "apioform" were stuff like cryoapioform/pyroapioform, in heavpoot's game. This was popularized by ABR ++apioform.
gollark: As far as I can tell, "apiohazard" was never very popular though.
gollark: Around this time the APIONET IRC network was started up, mostly as a joke.
gollark: The well-known "beware apioforms" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MeyArZuHlA) spawned "beware apioforms / they strike at night / you will never see them coming".
