Sometimes, something suddenly goes wrong, and you can only shout obscenities at it. For instance, when the dog bites, when the bee stings, something unexpected happens, or a program crashes (e.g. a segfault ), the victim often reacts by swearing.
For Randall , however, profanities are caused mostly by blue shells in the video game Mario Kart . The blue shells, when fired, target the player currently in first place and stop them cold. In a close game near the end of the race, a player can go from first to an unrecoverable last in one hit.
The title text refers to the " Double Dash " installment of Mario Kart. This includes a technique to avoid being hit by a blue shell, but it requires skillful timing to accomplish.  The term " deep magic " comes from computer programmer slang. Interestingly, with a boost mushroom in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 (and the so-called "Super-Horn" in the latter), it is also possible (with accurate timing) to escape blue shells.
