While that may be the etymological definition of the word, in actual usage it is taken to mean "with discrete symbols", as opposed to continuous representations of data. :)

Which makes double sense, as there as just as much a mapping from the letters of the alphabet to natural numbers as there is from voltage levels to binary digits. A digit, by any other name, would smell as discrete. :)

You can infact wipe your ass with a digital drive. I suggest using Apple ones, they're very bendable.

You sir are a heartless ass-abuser. Your bruised, scratched ass will soon leave you in search of a new body.

Muslims and their butts feel perfectly fine without paper (I assume).
