It checks the exit status of your command and prints praise for success or encouragement for an error. Funny idea, customizable too ๐Ÿ˜‚

SHELL_MOMMYS_LITTLE: Sets the affectionate term that mommy will use to refer to the user. The default value is "girl".

Now we need a mean one, like sudo insults

I don't remember the one, but I used to have something that would insult me when I typed the wrong password when sudoing

That's a build-in sudo feature, set by Defaults insults in your sudoers file.
