It would be great if your regex was used everywhere.

Leave it to Washington to unknowingly take a euphemism for sex chat and use it both for the name of a military branch ("Cyber Command") and for political rhetoric. Their mistake is mildly entertaining, but it really makes them look dumb. I wonder what they'll do with "ASL?"

Cyber- was a prefix long before AOL.

iirc, it was coined in '82 by Gibson and popularized in the cyberpunk genre of literature.
