    I don’t even know Haskell but it seems like (" ( , ) ") would be an instance of boob.

      (.) is a valid expression in Haskell. Normally it is the prefix form of the infix operator . that does function composition. (.) (2*) (1+) 3 = ((2*) . (1+)) 3 = 2 * (1 + 3) = 8.

      But, the most common use of the word “boob” in my experience in Haskell is the “boobs operator”: (.)(.). It’s usage in Haskell is limited (tho valid), but it’s appearance in racy ASCII art predates even the first versions on Haskell.

      It looks like two worms split running from another tinier worm. Makes you wonder what it has done to be so feared
