.profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc. The Long Story.

Traditionally, when you log into a Unix system, the system would start one program for you. That program is a shell, i.e., a program designed to start other programs. It's a command line shell: you start another program by typing its name. The default shell, a Bourne shell, reads commands from ~/.profile when it is invoked as the login shell.

Bash is a Bourne-like shell. It reads commands from ~/.bash_profile when it is invoked as the login shell, and if that file doesn't exist¹, it tries reading ~/.profile instead.

"Bug ba-design, zayin ba-debug" (Hebrew: באג בדיזיין, זין בדיבאג)

I feel sorry for the majority here - non-Israelis who can't get this joke - because it's truly one of the funniest things I've heard in a while. It is a clever play on words, even though it mixes English and Hebrew and isn't all that grammatically correct (it's not even a complete sentence). Remarkably, it is a fact of life as well.

The word zayin (slang for "dick" in Hebrew, pronounced similarly to "sign" in "design") has some of the connotations the word shit has in English. The phrase, therefore, can be translated as "A bug in the design (is) shit in the debugging" or "A bug in the design (is) shit to debug". Another way to interpret this usage of "zayin" is as a shorthand for "lekabel zayin" (lit. "to get dick" - to get screwed; carries very rude connotations), and then a loose translation could be "If there's a bug in the design, you get screwed when you debug".
