Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Mine is: please='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'
It will rerun the last command with a sudo.

Ah, a bash builtin.
"fc is used to list or edit and re-execute commands from the history list."
Yeah, that alias could be handy. Funny name for it though. Is it like pleading for that last command to work? lol Like, "grrrr effing permissions! please work this time!" 
@bingst Exactly, as in, "You forgot to say 'Please'"
@bingst so is "fc" like "cd.."?
@dalefvictor Apparently it stands for "fix command." Not very intuitive.
