Perhaps you could point out the funny bit.

Oh, you have to read that in the voice of The Comic Book Guy. Then it's fucking hilarious. Here try it:

"You sthee const const &const char[const ] is the proper way to make a thruly safe reference to a conthst char array conthst pointer conthst."

See, prime comedy gold there.

Also, 'cause you guys think the internet should be nothing but a massive academic white paper curated by Knuth, so any amount of hyperbole sends you into a literalism hissy fit.

Comic Book Guy doesn't lisp like that; although his virtual twin, Go-Bots Guy from Robot Chicken, does.

He mocks that you can attach const nearly anywhere in c++ and it seems to do something different. (Note: This is a generalization, an important aspect of many jokes)

That explanation was so Sheldon Cooper-y. Kudos.

You'd have to use C++ to understand.
