But who said it had to contain only jargon?  I guess I'm responsible
for that commit as I replied with wtf(6) output to a private mail Elad
sent me.  I'm one of those people who try wtf(6) when they come across
an unknown acronym.  I actually would have never guessed the meaning of
the acronym, and indeed assumed it was something wtf(6) usually carries
the answer for.  But I wouldn't have been shocked to find it in the
database.

Yeah, right.  The utility that's named what-the-fuck should be
politically correct.

Anyway, I don't care enough about the issue.
