When I was a little kid I was playing a DOS submarine game which had a Boss Key.

All I knew was the button makes it quit the game so my 6 year old interpretation was that it must be something you press when you get to the final boss and are too scared?

One day I played for an hour straight trying to get to the boss part of the game but it never came.

Amusingly, I just noticed that alt-spacebar-n doesn't hide a window in Ubuntu.
Bullies can’t use Linux, that’s for the bullied.
