Signature look of superiority

The hallmark of a Siamese cat. All cats are above the world, Siamese think they are above all cats.

Part of me understands that BUGS must stand for something I'm not familiar with, but I can also assure you, if I'm following a tutorial for data analysis it is going to contain bugs.

He also gives you mysterious C++ compilation errors to keep things interesting.

didn't show their work.

You’re allowed to not show your work, you just have to write either “this is left as an exercise to the reader” or “it is trivial to show that …”
