I was a bit disappointed when I discovered that "su" doesn't stand for superuser but for the rather bland "set uid".

This is a useful discovery though, as it points you towards the fact that as well as running as super user (the default) sudo can run a command as any target user (e.g. `sudo -u zofrex dosomethingevil`).
