"phooey" appears to be a pejorative word [1][2]. But there's no reason for negative feelings towards temporary files and directories (assuming that their use is safe and that they are removed after use, which a 'trap' command can guarantee). So, feel free to put in any other neutral word in place of "phoey". Bruno [1] https://www.dict.cc/?s=phooey [2] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/phooey
