Edit the file `/etc/sudoers` and find the line:
Defaults env_reset
Now add `,insults` to the end of the line so that it reads like that:
Defaults env_reset,insults
From now on, *sudo* will insult anyone who mistypes his password. See for yourself:
> [sudo] password for foo:
> *Hold it up to the light --- not a brain in sight!*
> [sudo] password for foo:
> *Speak English you fool --- there are no subtitles in this scene.*
> [sudo] password for foo:
> *I think … err … I think … I think I'll go home*
> sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
