Middle names of two pres'dents,
and one of a time traveler,
A most famous sorceress,
and a programmer's laughter.
A call for assistance,
an invisible juncture.
What do they all mean?
(One word is the answer.)


Hint

Not looking for a pattern like one proposed by @cwallenpoole. All of the words described mean "something". What is that "something" ?

Hint 2
Edited first line of riddle

  • $\begingroup$ Just to be sure, is there a mistake on the first line "pres'dents" ? Or is it done on purpose ? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 11, 2019 at 11:35
  • $\begingroup$ It's "presidents", nothing special there, just changed it for the rhythm. $\endgroup$

They're all three's.

The names of two pres'dents,

JFK, FDR

and one of a time traveler,

"Doc"

A most famous sorceress,

"Red" woman from GoT or "Fay" as in "Morgen le Fay"

and a programmer's laughter.

LOL

A call for assistance,

SOS

an invisible juncture.

??? This one is hard. Don't know, but I would guess:

Net (as in network/internet)

  • $\begingroup$ Wrong answer, but some guesses are "coincidentally" right : call for assistance is the correct word, time traveler and invisible juncture are close $\endgroup$
