Dumb question. 'brew install coreutils' gives you /usr/local/bin/gshuf etc
The script is using 'shuf', not 'gshuf'. Whats going on with that?

When it installs for me it aliases `shuf` to `gshuf`. You can either modify the script or just `alias shuf=gshuf` in your profile. It's an equivalent utility.

Unless I'm mistaken, the link to the actual script is broken/nonexistent. Probably a typo in the markup of the blog post :-/

Yeah, I typed github instead of gist in the embed tag and can't fix it from this plane. It's here: https://gist.github.com/tts...

I find it to be more fun/useful/memorable to grab the word lists from WordNet, which separate them by function (adjective, noun, verb, etc.) and slap an adjective and noun together.

Just played with that. It's brilliant. I may post an update with credit to you if you don't mind…

Oh yeah, sure thing. I use a similar script for a sort of inside joke in a group I help organize. We use the abbreviation PM a lot, of course meaning Project Manager, but my brain keeps latching on to Prime Minister. We've since laid down some unwritten rules that you can no longer say "PM" nor "Project Manger" nor "Prime Minister" but only "{P-adjective} {M-noun}." Because we rotate PM duty, we'll end up with a Pedantic Monk, Photosynthetic Migrant, Participating Magus, and whatnot. No public source code at the moment, but the script lives here: http://netninja.com/fun/pm/
