What does < mean on twitter or facebook? - dk11 - 09-30-2012 11:57 AM
I was on twitter, and someone posted this: Weed < Family. What does that specifically mean?

It's greater than
Tv < YouTube
(tv is greater than YouTube)

< is the less-than sign, > is the greater-than sign.

Actually if it were greater than it would be the other way round. I suspect they *wanted* to say that weed is greater than family but they've actually said weed is less than family. The way to remember is the open end is bigger (greater) than the pointed end if you look at it so whatever is on the open end is bigger/greater than whatever's at the pointed end.

That's PacMan's mouth, duh! Essentially, Weed is PacMan and he is eating the Family. I'm assuming this is because he has the munchies.
