      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.

        I type kill -4 $$ all the time so I don’t pollute bash history. It’s probably up there as most typed command in 3rd place after l and cd ...

        I swear I can type the entire thing in 1s flat on a good day.

        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.
