<i>What's a Zune?</i>

It's the think starlord got at the end of guardians of the galaxy 2.

Still, at least it didn't suffer like the ipod -- it had No wireless and Less space than a Nomad. It was "Lame".

But you could ‘squirt’ songs from one Zune to another.

The Zune was a litany of poor decisions, but that word choice must have been the worst.

I think you are correct.

Though, I also found the word "squircle†" amusing, and still use it when the opportunity arises. The Zune was the first time I'd heard it used outside of math nerds trying to out-nerd each other.
