Either #2 or #3. /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin exist for that purpose, but some people prefer to keep personal scripts and such in home, maybe as part of a dotfiles repo or something, and so just add ~/.dotfiles/scripts or something to PATH.

What do you call a word that swipes in the shape it describes? Like an autonym but for swiping.

An acronym is a kind of initialism that can be pronounced like a word e.g. NASA. Your reasoning for why it can’t be pronounced as a word (“sequel”) depends on it not being an acronym. But, since many people do pronounce it that way, it is, in fact, an acronym and can be pronounced that way.

Your logic is circular

I like to call it “Squeal” sometimes, but usually I call it “Sequel”.

Alternatively, alliteration am always awesome

Better idea: do more good and listen to music that is weed.

Then there’s only one hiding?

I feel the same way except I’m already here.
