A shoddy attempt at humor crafted by the Linux community in order to answer back at those who even mildly criticize their half-finished kernel or the "newbies" who are trying to seek help in getting Linux to function properly on their machines. Makes one look stupid when said out loud in a group of people.
Newbie: Can you please help me configure my soundcard and modem? I read the manual, and followed the instructions, but both piece of hardware still refuse to work.
Linux elitist: Go away or I will replace you with a simple shell script, retard.
Newbie: All I did was ask for help, and if this is how you treat those who want to learn about Linux, then you shouldn't be surprised if people go back to using Windows or Mac OS-X.
Linux elitist: Well go back to crashing your Windoze, troll.

I got a tiny dick dick but I am a genious because I realized that a shell-script can't replace people, YAY!!!

Some phrase made by a geek who probably had a moment of inspiration while masturbating toTux the Linux penguin mascot.
Geek: I've got an idea! I'll tell the n00bs to go away before I replace them with a simple shell script. That'll teach them. Damn this hand lotion rocks!

Her butt has been rear ended too many times. Cat't replace it so bring out the bondo, sandpaper and a grinder.

Hym "It doesn't need to be replaced with anything. You need to be made to live in reality.. If YOU need that to cope with reality, then maybe your mental health isn't as solid as you think it is. You want me to listen to you without you having to talk to me. If you're not going to talk to me (directly) I'm not going to listen and if you're going to try and rob me I'm just going to murder a kid, kill myself, and leave you to deal with the aftermath. I don't care if everyone else on the planet is willing to let them get away with trying to do this to me but I won't. Your religion is a lie. You fucked up. You tried to make the weaponized schizophrenia work and it didn't. Let it go. There is no positive outcome with without retribution and reparations."
