awk, grep, sed, perl, cat, finger, man, etc

  awk -> I forget what
  grep -> global/regular expression/print
  sed -> stream editor
  perl -> I'll give you this one
  cat -> concatenate
  finger -> I'll give you this one
  man -> manual

A large percentage of them are mnemonics.

I wasn't implying that it's better elsewhere, just that java isn't any better.
