TSG forum question
Why does it say "plug-n-pray" under HARDWARE in the TSG forum?
Just curious.

Just so you would ask why it says what it does is why.

Well alot of plug and play did not work right so the saying plug and pray.

"plug and pray" is common euphimism for the standard "plug and play". I can only assume it came about because rather than "plugging and playing", as is the intent, more often than not people have found themselves "plugging and PRAYing" that it works.

I know I do more plug and pray than plug and play
