I love checking back on the list of longest-lived hoaxes on Wikipedia, because they keep digging this stuff up. The new record-holder was alive on Wikipedia for 19.29 years and only got found in February.
I love/fear these. George K. Broomhall, the Civil War general who invented cream soda, complete with fake citations, and now he's been scraped from Wikipedia and is still lingering around the internet.

Fictitious acronym for "Just a Bunch Of Bytes", said to be a term used to describe unstructured data that does not have a fixed format.
what if we let thiis one stay
this one needs to go because i do not want to work with people who take is as a serious data format 😭
Isn't this basically what a BLOB is?
This one's my favorite because it looks like some coder trying to invent slang by pretending it's already relevant enough to be on wikipedia. Which is the geekiest fucking way to get other people to pick up your original phrase.
Adding pieces of inconsequential yet fabricated trivia to pages was a wonderful pastime.
This is how folklore and rumors are made.
People will be telling tales of General Broomhall for generations
