spispopd

SPISPOPD (an abbreviation for Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles Of Putrid Debris) is part of a joke relating to the computer game Doom. Its origin can be traced back to the following Usenet post by Eli S. Bingham in early December, 1993, from the comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action newsgroup:

     Listen up, ID Software! 
      Next time you have an impending release of a much anticipated    game, make  sure its name is not so cool-sounding as DOOM and much    longer to  eliminate all of the casual "Where can I get xxx" posts.    How about  "Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles Of Putrid Debris" for    the next game?

This initial quip was carried on, and a parody of the Doom FAQ was written called the SPISPOPD FAQ. The FAQ described a 3D game that ran on a computer with minimal specifications. id Software gave a nod to the joke by planting it as a cheat code in the game. Typing "idspispopd" activates "no clipping" mode, which allows the player to walk through walls.
