A shortened form of "potpourri." The reason for the shortened spelling is that I first used it when playing Summer Games on the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a> with our family. I wanted to come up with a funny name and thought of the line from the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/WeirdAl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeirdAl</span></a> song "I Lost on Jeopardy" that said, "I took potpourri for one hundred and then my head started to spin..." but the whole word wouldn't fit into the character limit. This was incredibly funny to 10/11 year old Matt. </p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageComputing</span></a> / <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p>
