      You are allowed to say pussy on the internet. Cats did nothing wrong.

        isn’t it just ‘present working directory’?

          My kryptonite is du which reports disk usage, and df which reports disk file size, or no, wait, du is file size and df is disk usage.

          Most of the time I can only remember whichever one I don’t need at the moment and futilely hope that its man page will mention the other (which it doesn’t).

            Ah yes, everyone knows how “pwd” looks like “pussy” and definitely not “p-word”.

              I think you missed the WAP aka wet ass pussy song title reference in their “wet ass p-word”.

                It absolutely can be either and is not so clear cut as responders are claiming.

                Weather its ‘print working directory’ or ‘present working directory’ depends on the source you ask, and ultimately they have the same meaning so it really doesn’t matter which you use.

                Whenever pwd is used as a variable, ‘present’ is more logical than ‘print’.

                  Pretty sure it refers to a clip of the “intellectual” Ben Shapiro being afraid to say the word “pussy” when reading through the lyrics of the song and making misogynistic comments about it

                    Okay, so you did get the wordplay between pwd, pussy, and p-word in the comment.

                    Unless I’m really slow and I missed another joke I don’t get your complaint on my joke response, sorry.
