(jargon) | UUOC
[from the comp.unix.shell group on Usenet] Stands for Useless Use of cat;
the reference is to the Unix command cat(1), not the feline animal. As

concatenate (or ‘catenate’) files. If it's only one file, concatenating it
with nothing at all is a waste of time, and costs you a process.”
Nevertheless one sees people doing
cat file | some_command and its args ...
instead of the equivalent and cheaper
