I never heard it called the Elvis operator! Thanks!
- It's because if you turn it 90° to the right, it looks like Elvis' hair with two eyes underneath!
  
  I saw it the other way, with the question mark as the curl of his lip.
  
  ?:)
- It was called Elvis back when it was a smiley

I don't understand this. Small brained users rise up
- On the left you have Elvis Presley, while on the right there's the so-called Elvis operator
  
  been programming since 2008. the fuck is an elvis operator?
  
  why would you call it anything other than the ternary operator

Kotlin user spotted
- php too
  ..but we don't talk about php
  
  php doesn't exist, php can't hurt you
- Nobody's assuming Groovy these days then 😂
  
  I've been working in Jenkins pipeline for a while now.
  Why the fuck is Groovy?
- (run { this@comment.parent?.apply { this.value === true } } == true) ?: if ((this@comment.value as? Boolean) != true) false else true

I will never call this the "Elvis" operator. That's as dumb as dog shit. It's called the ternary operator.
- I had to go into the comments to find that out. Is this like an old people thing?
