Think about it this way: in the unlikely event that your parking brake fails while you're parked, which direction is gravity going to make the car roll? Park in the gear that opposes that roll. So if you're facing up an incline, park in first gear. If you're facing down, park in reverse. If you're on an absolutely flat surface, park in whichever you want.

By the way, this isn't just a good idea for hills, but for uneven driveways or parking lots.

And the rest of the body.

From 1913 Webster's, to show how "far" we've come:

Pun"dit (?), n. [Hind. pandit, Skr. pandita a learned man.] A learned man; a teacher; esp., a Brahman versed in the Sanskrit language, and in the science, laws, and religion of the Hindoos; in Cashmere, any clerk or native official. [Written also pandit.] [India]

I think we're focusing on different aspects. My comment was limited to the way main menus worked — "Play feature" or whatever would just about always be the pre-selected option. I was replying to this:

Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.

99% of DVD menus would have the "Play movie" pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.

I really have no idea, but "blogger in the 80s" is kind of hilarious. The coining of a term can be hard to pin down, but it also matters a lot less than when it takes off. Looking at this ngram I think we can place the rise, when most people would become aware of it, in the early 2010s.

It's worth noting that its success might have prevented the common term "incel" from coming about.

My only controversial opinion is that one must always avoid "/s" indicators, as those are an instant killer of comedy. If an occasional unit of sarcasm flies over the head of another, drawing downvotes and/or unhappiness, it's a price we must endure as a society.
