[edit] The Kipple programming language

Is the reference to the esoteric programming language really relevant here? The programming language is probably only known to a handful of people worldwide, and not related to Kipple or Philip K. Dick at all (apart for the name). --Runeberge 00:07, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "I don't know, I've never kippled"

Surely the above quote has nothing to do with the sense of "kipple" being discussed here? It's simply a joke based on a deliberate mishearing of the name "Kipling" as a present participle. At least Richard Eder of the New York Times thinks it's a joke that dates back to Edwardian times... see here:[1] 143.252.80.110 17:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The term "kipple" was introduced by Philip K. Dick. The quote was taken from another of his books. I find it pertinent to the article. User: Kipple 14 April 2006

I am in accord with that view. I don't think the quote relates either. --Amedeo Felix (talk) 10:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Now Wait For Last Year query

Does "kipple" in fact appear in this 1966 novel? That would contradict the earlier claim that the word was coined in the 1968 Do Androids Dream ... So far I have been unable to locate it in Now Wait For Last Year, and there's no quote from this book -- just a suggestion that the term applies metaphorically to relationships in it, which could be said of very many Dick novels. --DeafMan 17:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Woof

I don't know what all this has to do with dog food. Sure, kipple might be useless for humans, but mighty tasty for our canine friends. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 148.150.121.162 (talk • contribs) 12:37, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I think you're thinking of kibble. :) -- Earle Martin [t/c] 20:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I stand corrected! I always thought kipple was a variation on kibble, at least where I'm from. But if you don't have a dog, and there's kibble in your dogless house, I guess that would qualify as kipple. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.150.30.3 (talk) 14:53, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terry Carr

The information about Terry Carr should be sited. It was said by PKD in an interview that he borrowed the term from a friend. PKD has used the term in other books of his, as stated in article. Kipple

[edit] Ted Pauls

Site source. The quote that is placed as being written by Ted Pauls, in reference to Rudyard Kipling, was actually in PKD's book "Galactic Pot-Healer". The character, Joe Fernwright, in this book is on the shore of Mare Nostrum, where Glimmung is submerged and possibly dead. Phrases idly run through Joe's head: "Do you like Yeats?" "I don't know, I've never had any." "Do you like Kipling?" "I don't know, I've never kippled."

Please discuss this so that we may set facts straight.
