Here's a quick tip to spice up your Linux install:

Quoted reply (3 lines)

$ sudo visudo
At the top of your sudoers file, type in the line:
Defaults insults

<span>$ sudo visudo
</span>

At the top of your sudoers file, type in the line:

<span>Defaults insults
</span>

Save and exit your text editor.

Try out a command with sudo(8) and mistype your password.

You can disable this epic feature by just removing the config line from your sudoers file in the same manner you added it.
