Whilst in school, my RPG (that stands for Report Program Generator 
for those of you that are computer language acronym challenged) 
instructor always wished there was a DOWHIM command.

DOWHIM would stand for "Do WHat I Mean".

RPG is heavily based on commands similar to that where only
portions of the names of the operations are given in order to
make the command verbage shorter, etc.  Which is probably typical
of many computer languages that can potentially get really verbose.
