fuck() {
sudo $(fc -ln -1)
}
This function takes the last command and puts sudo in front of it. Actually used it in a zoom call at work without thinking and it took a second to realize why everyone was laughing. Not my invention–came across it years ago on stackoverflow or someplace and thought it was funny/useful.

According to this super user question, someone said that !! won’t work in a function, so you must use the fc -ln -1 command in a subshell instead. Note the response that says eval shouldn’t be used (not sure why)
