A classic copy-pasta often attributed to rms but contains parts that he denied being from him. It's best used whenever you see a debate over the correct format of Linux and GNU/Linux.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

A more sustainable alternative to "that's what she said" that first came into usage in the fall of 2010 in New York City.
Uttara: This belongs to Maggie's friend! Don't mess with her, you're entering a world of pain!
Faraz: Just like my first time...

"Just like me fr" meant in a sarcastic way to lift yourself while it actually is YOU being just like him, he's famous for (that something), while you're at home and a nobody

A lite hearted remark made to comment on someone being one-way , or only thinking of themself. A reference to how many streets in Philidelphia (and other cities) are one-way.
**Philly may be replaced with any city that has one-way streets**
