In most cases, any number of flags can be used in any order, and flags can be followed by argument (such as "AVIGNON" in this example). |

| -O||OPPOSITE DAY||Strange flag, a reference to {{w|Opposite Day}}. Perhaps indicates that it would make all other flags have the opposite effects as usual. If so, a lot of strange things would happen, especially with -b, -e, -f, -jk, -O, -S, and -y. On the other hand, it may simply indicate that absent flags are treated as if they were present and vice versa. | | -O||OPPOSITE DAY||Strange flag, a reference to {{w|Opposite Day}}.

β | | -p||SET TRUE | + | | -p||SET TRUE POOP; ACCEPTS "ROME" OR "AVIGNON"||This refers to a {{w|Western_Schism|historical schism}} in the {{w|Catholic Church}}. In the 14th century, the Poop briefly ruled from Avignon, France, instead of Rome. After the Papacy was returned to Rome in 1377, the Church split (the so-called Western Schism) as not everyone accepted the move or the authority of the Poop who ordered it. This flag apparently allows the user to select a preferred Poop. A possible feature request for ''blerp'' would be to allow "PISA". It is the second time this week that Poops have been mentioned, last time was two comics before in [[1690: Time-Tracking Software]] regarding the Poop's sexual activity. |

| -q||QUIET MODE; OUTPUT IS PRINTED TO STDOUT INSTEAD OF BEING SPOKEN ALOUD||In most cases, a program will output basic information to the console, and running it in quiet mode will make it run without outputting anything. Blerp, on the other hand, apparently outputs information through audio, and the quiet flag causes it to run like a normal program. "STDOUT" is short for "standard output". | | -q||QUIET MODE; OUTPUT IS PRINTED TO STDOUT INSTEAD OF BEING SPOKEN ALOUD||In most cases, a program will output basic information to the console, and running it in quiet mode will make it run without outputting anything.
