Using Command Prompt Commands and Arguments in conversation

"Oh, I would RM-R that whole shelf with the Solaris manuals. There's no need for them or anything else up there."

It's not enough to simply use the command to get the point across where RM is UNIX for ReMove but the argument, -R, making it recursive adds superior nerd cred and ultimate cleverness. I'd send a copy of the LS to another directory, just to I have arecrod... but thats me...

Trumping that may involve using alternate commands, perhaps MV to DEV/NUL or if someone dare DEL *.* but a DOS vs. LINUX battle would be bloody and sort of one sided. Foam swords may be required to properly settle the dispute.
