        Damn, dude. Glad it’s just a joke, but that’s the nerdiest and most circumspect way I’ve ever seen this expressed.

          It is a variable holding the process id of the shell instance interpreting the command. You could say “yourself” instead.

      Oh dude. I, uh, overheard a very failed asking out they other day. It basically went:

      Person 1:Hey, you’re real pretty are you single?

      Person 2:uhhhh no.

      Person 3 pretending to be oblivious: Hey that looks real sharp

      I’ve never seen anyone disappear quite so fast as person 1, so that was neat.
