A play on words is ok, as long as it's not a running joke that keeps coming up. That's distracting.
The key to the Unix joke name genre is that the jokes are encoded laconically into the name and only the name (e.g. "less") and then have the good taste to immediately expire. They don't get old because they don't overstay their welcome.
Edit: I reworded this to be less judgmental.

Those jokes are encoded laconically into the name and only the name (e.g. "less") and then have the good taste to immediately expire. They don't get old because they don't overstay their welcome. I'm confused. Is the bro thing showing up in this command apart from in the name?
- gruseom 13y agoI thought it did from reading the blog post. Is that wrong? If so, I'll delete my comment.
