A defensive semicolon placed before a JavaScript IIFE that looks like a Gen-Z emoticon for "winking sadface, f*** you." Originated when two run_script() calls get concatenated without a statement terminator, causing unshift() to return 15 which then tries to invoke (function(){...})() as 15(function(){...})(). The semicolon breaks the invocation chain, restoring order to the universe.

Etymology: Discovered during a late-night Claude Code session debugging lightweight-charts hotkeys in a crypto charting app called Kore AI. The developer saw the pattern ;(function() and immediately recognized it as the most honest thing JavaScript has ever produced.
"My hotkey wasn't working so I added a ;(fu and the watchlist finally toggled."

Fuck plus!

The "ח" is a Hebrew letter pronounced like the ch in l'chaim

Versatile, as it is not an actual swear word, yet has a harsher sound than fuck and the strength of combining two languages.

fu man shalit 

A cross between Fu Manchu and Gene Shalit, a fu man shalit is a mustache that is similar in shape to a fu manchu mustache but instead of being thin and narrow it is bushy and full like the mustache worn by film critic Gene Shalit. Sometimes this results from somebody trying to wear a fu manchu style mustache but lacking the patience or skill to maintain it's slender shape.
Paul Teutul, Sr. from American Choppers has worn a fu man shalit for more than 40 years now.
