Pinky's Alternative definitions of common Linux commands

wc: "water closet" Does this file have enough words in it to keep me entertained while I'm on the can?

ls: "let's see" Let's see what I actually named the file I saved last night at 2 A.M.

df: "da fudge" How da fudge did I use up 100 gigs?

less: I should check to make sure the changes I made really took, less I have to retype the whole dang thing.

tar: How in tar-nation does anyone remember the dang options for this stupid thing?

pwd: Where the hell am I?

cd ~/: Go /home/ user you're drunk.

gzip: Like winzip, but with more street-cred.

sudo: pseudo-root-thingy

su: God help you all... I... Am... Root.

yum: I was led to believe that redhat based distros would be more delicious, I was misled...

whoami: If you need to use this, you've been at the keyboard waaaaaayyyyyy too long.
