sudo rm -rf / 

Pranksters on a bunch of internet forums will tell uninformed computer users to type this into the Terminal to fix their computer problems. Once these poor bastards hit the return key and type in their password the system starts erasing everything on the hard drive. This command is only for use with Un*x-like operating systems (Mac, Linux, and BSD but not Windows.) The Windows version of this command is 'format c:'
Uninformed User- "Hey I need help with something."
Troll -"Type 'sudo rm -rf /' into the Terminal and hit return, and then enter your password"
Uninformed User- "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?"

Put in front of any word, spoken or writen, and it will command anyone to do anything you want them to do.

This command line may only work with linux geeks, if it doesn't work for you, you do not love Tux enough!

A Linux/UNIX command (short for SuperUser DO) allowing a user to execute a command that normally only the superuser (root) can perform.
I never login to my server as root, so I had to use sudo to reset your password.

Definition: Sudo is simply short for individuals of sudanese heritage.

Geographically Sudo people are mostly found in Sudan and South Sudan.
For example an individual may reference themselves as "half sudo and half Egyptian" which means they're half Sudanese and half Egyptian.

If you are of sudanese heritage you can use the term 'sudo' to reference your identity
" I'm a sudo girl/boy"
"He's my sudo uncle"
"She's my sudo sister"
