    I’m familliar with grep, thank you. Although you did something good for people who don’t know.

    I mean more, what’s grep innuendo for? The others are fairly obvious.

      Oh, hahaha. Well, I’m glad you liked it in that case. I’ve been practicing my hand at writing little impromptu social-media sized explainers for technical concepts, and It’s good to get some knowledgeable feedback.

      I’ve always assumed the joke was that it sounded like “grope”, and I always thought it was a loose fit for this joke. A bit of a reach, if you will.
