Try/fuckit

In computer programming, try/fuckit is a type of exception handling which expresses the programmer's angry response to occurrence of anomalous or exceptional conditions requiring special processing during the execution of a program.

Example

try {
    //  Block of code to try
    if (true) {    
      //do stuff 
    } else {    
      //emergency stuff     
      //hopefully we won't need this 
    }
} fuckit (Exception e) {
    //  Block of code that can just fuck off
}
