More like tildeMostAbusedSymbol, sometimes it's an operator, an alias or a syntactic element. You know this little squiggle has caused a lot of people a lot of grief.

I should build a language where you do database queries with ~/SELECT .... /~ and call it the elephant operator. The language would come with PostgreSQL bindings and nothing else, because elephants.

It's similar to the symbol for approximation which also is accurate for what it's doing cause the integer division approximates the actual value. So that's how I would remember.

But sure I guess you can also throw elephant trunk in there lol.

Don't mind me with my parseInt(22/7). The operator seems neat but I don't know if adding more and more operators to a flexible language is a good idea, this might not be clear to read.
