We called him clippy at the time. His official name didn’t mean that’s what we called him. “Fuck off Clippy” is something my father and I said to each other until he died. It was a shorthand we ended up using for just about any bloatware we needed to get rid of to get a computer to work how we wanted.
It’s always so funny to me that he was originally named “Clippit” , but we all collectively mandala-effected him into Clippy in our shared memory. 😂

I guess it’s kinda like blowing into the NES cartridge when it won’t load. Everyone did it, but no one knows how it started.
There was an app that let you shoot him when he appeared.
