Hey, my battle cry is :
Running over the steppes, swinging an oversized scalpel, cometh
Sargentcolburn! And she gives a mighty bellow:
"I'm going to hack into your brain, and type rm -rf...
Can someone more savvy tell me, please, what it means? I understand
about running across the steppes (I am the descendent of ice-age big
mammal hunters, no doubt about that,) with a huge chop-master of a
surgical tool (I work for a doctor, I get that too), but what is
typing rm-rf?
I'm a little worried about the ladies:
Hark! Who is that, skulking out of the fields! It is Switch And Lily,
hands clutching buzzsaw hand extensions! She screams gutterally: "I'm
going to bake your brains with the heat of my fury!"

[Moderator's note: rm -rf is geeky unix language which erases all your
files without prompting for confirmation. I guess these ancient battle
cries were left here by a civilization using unix-type 'puters. BIG]
