Permalink?

I know this is going to sound like I'm a newbie but

Wg=hat the hell is a permalink?

You could not look this up?

I refer to it as friendly human readable link. Search engine friendly link. A link that does not c alt=list&page=1 ect.

Here is a full description. It has other meanings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permalink

Figures. The forum is stripping some of my text out.

Why on earth would I look it up when  I got you to explain it to me buddy?
