G. Do, do not. There is no try.

How many different geeky ways are their to say that?

Ruby:

    [ "do", "do not" ].include? "try"
    => false

Ruby:

    "do".include? "try" or "do not".include? "try"
    => false 

Bash:

    $DO || ! $DO; try
    -bash: try: command not found

I could probably spend 20-30 and figure out how to do this in PERL, Python, PHP, etc. but I want to see if you all out there have them on the top of your head.

Edit: Adding a few thanks to hackedy.

Python:

    >>> "try" in ["do", "do not"]
    >>> False

Haskell:

    "try" `elem` ["do", "do not"]
    => False

Clojure:

    (do (or 'do-not try))
    java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: try in this context
