    As a German, it’s always fun to use the ss command. The SS was the organization that did most of the genocide under Hitler. That’s a bad name around here, so people are always surprised that a command is named that.

    But what’s even more fun is that we can memorize the standard set of flags as -tulpn, because it’s basically spelled+pronounced like “Tulpen”, which is German for tulips.

    So, occasionally I get to tell people to type “SS-tulips” into their terminal and it always confuses the hell out of them. 🙃

      I think most Americans think of that as well. It’s even the first several Google search results for “ss”. Bad name choice.

      Though we (Americans) didn’t get the fun “tulip” bit.
