    I learned the proper meaning of tar flags a long time ago, but then I accidentally saw a post somewhere describing “czf” and “xzf” as acronyms in german accent: “Create Ze File!” and “Xtract Ze File!” and now everytime I use tar in the simpler ways I hear in my head a german voice shouting these words as I type the flags.

      Awesome. Now I have the shouting German in my head too.

      Zank you!
