So sometimes you need to just make up a word. Although I do not

just knew that at some point command/function was too long and silly
to
type. Similar to the use of "s/he" today.
I once had a colleague with the same complaint about "s/he". He joked
that it excluded inanimate objects and suggested "s/h/*t". I declined
to follow his suggestion.
