Does ohshit stand for something else clever? I know the Android API uses "What a Terrible Failure" to serve a similar function.


There's also ohshite() :-)


haha. Looks like it's from `libdpkg`

Haha, I laughed that there was "ohshite()", but they even have a convenient ohshitv().


We've all done it. That, and added comments apologizing to whoever has to maintain that one function...


I get "Cannot call method 'slice' of undefined" when I open the link.


I was actually digging into the dpkg source code out of curiosity a few months ago and was also amused by the function name. I didn't decide it worth posting, though.


But this comment was?
