Shambo's actually a bot I've been working on
The code is relatively simple:

public function getUpset() {
     call waaaaah();
     try(wit()) {

     }
     if(fail) {
          call(mods());
     }
}

I might have played the underachieving dweeb thing a bit strong here ... what do you think? I don't want it to descend into crude pastiche.

I think you've overdone it.
Not only making a programming joke but getting the code embarrassingly wrong may be taking it a little too far.

Could we get a few standard phrases in here like; 'It never happened'.

Your code is terrible.
You coded a try block without any accompanying catch or finally block.
Not only that, your try block is parameterised, and contains nothing in its body.
And wtf is the keyword call?
Also... your function appears to return type function... that's just weird.

Did you even try to compile it?

people who open their braces on the same line have very small cocks ... just saying like

I personally use Allman style everywhere,
but I switched to K&R style here, to match the original posted code...
(although, as it happens the original code appears to be some kind of K&R variant which puts the function open-brace on the same line as the function signature)

You're getting away from the important, and terrifying, point here;
people who code like emvee can actually find well paid employment writing software, some of which might be required to do something important.

Basically, the entire industry works on a 90-10 principle: you can fire 90 percent of your coders, because all they're actually doing is slowing down the 10 percent who end up writing/fixing it all anyway.

There there, Shambo. Go see mummy, she'll kiss it all better.
