What? No "ZZ" ??? ;-)

-- 
dot file [Unix] n.

 A file that is not visible by default to
   normal directory-browsing tools (on Unix, files named with a
   leading dot are, by convention, not normally presented in directory
   listings).  Many programs define one or more dot files in which
   startup or configuration information may be optionally recorded; a
   user can customize the program's behavior by creating the
   appropriate file in the current or home directory.  (Therefore, dot
   files tend to creep -- with every nontrivial application
   program defining at least one, a user's home directory can be
   filled with scores of dot files, of course without the user's
   really being aware of it.)  See also profile (sense 1), rc file
