"Crimony" :-)

Okay.  Google has 424 for _crimony_ and only 41 for _crimeney_.  :-)


I can't figure out what the $'s are for in there.

That's POSIX shell syntax.  A dollar sign followed by a single quote
indicates that the following string up to the matching single quote is
to have C string interpretation applied with respect to backslashes
etc.  (It's not *exactly* C syntax, but close enough.)

Okay.  Interesting.
