It has an awful lot to do with the person I'm talking to. If I'm looking over my colleague's shoulder - say he's just found out I forgot to implement a method - I'd rattle out something like:

  sub admin,
  my dollar self equals shift,
  dollar self to[1] admin or equals do,
  require NVC DB user,
  NVC DB User to[1] admin.

.. and expect him to type (with correct punctuation and indentation):

  sub admin {
      my $self = shift;
      $self->{admin} ||= do {
          require NVC::DB::User;
          NVC::DB::User->admin;
      };
  }

Of course, I shall poke fun at him (or possibly a pointed stick) if he fails to do so.

[1] This is the special one, it is a very distinct word pronounced with a plosive 't' and a vowel sound similar to the French definite article 'le'. I'm not sure how you'd write that phonetically, especially in HTML.
