She sits there and laughs.

Then I reply with: "sudo make me a sandwich"

She gets up and does it, and then said "she just had to cause she knew what it meant"

:thumbsup: !!

Basically the OP is full of sh!t. He's just ripping off the cartoon linked already in this thread and pretending like it really happened to him.

Thats actually... pretty sad.

That brings me to a question.

Would it be pronounced "Sue do" or "Sue doe". I assume "do" because it's "Super User DO.

All the UNIX admins I know say "Sue Do".

I'm curious how you guys pronounce the fsck command in polite company, though... I always spell it out.

The most amusing command to pronounce that I know of is "smitty" (the AIX text mode configuration manager). Try getting someone with a strong New York accent to say it outloud!

I've heard "sudo" pronounced both as "Sue do" and "Sue doe". It's easier to say "Sue doe", though the other is probably the better choice.
