terminal
Some terminal commands stay locked away until you borrow special administrator powers with one short, oddly memeable magic word.
sudo, short for 'superuser do,' temporarily grants a user administrator-level privileges needed to run commands that would otherwise be blocked, such as installing system software or modifying protected files. It's essential for legitimate system administration, but because it grants such broad power, it comes with an unwritten rule among developers to pause and double-check a command before hitting Enter with sudo in front of it.
'judo' and 'dodo' are simply words that rhyme with the real term, included purely as playful distractors with no actual function in a terminal.
sudo became a genuine internet meme through the 'sudo make me a sandwich' comic, which joked that prefixing any request with sudo should make a computer, or a person, obey without question.
