There is ^nofucking_way you did it by hand, like a real man!

Bookmarklet: javascript:(function(s) { return s.length == 2 || s.length == 1 ? "[spoiler]" + s + "[/spoiler]" : "[spoiler]" + s[0] + arguments.callee(s.substring(1,s.length-1)) + s[s.length-1] + "[/spoiler]"; })(prompt("Text:"));

will say
Suck It!

Will say
_ex^pe_rt BBCODE

Is arguments.callee work like the Y-combinator

_{Expert B}Bcod^{e failu}_{re by a B}Bcod^{e failu}_{re expert}!!!

>>17
I don't know, I never understood the Y combinator.
During a function's execution, arguments.callee references the function itself. Doesn't matter whether the function is anonymous or not.

>>19
In short, yes, that's basically the same way as how the Y combinator works.

Y basically turns a function that takes another function, which expects the "other" function to be itself, into something easier to call. It's great if you don't want to define a function by name, but it still has to be recursive.

That is, without Y (and also lacking a way to refer to a function by name within itself) you would have to write something like:
function bookmarklet(y_arg, s) { return s.length == 2 || s.length == 1 ? "[spoiler]" + s + "[/spoiler]" : "[spoiler]" + s[0] + y_arg(s.substring(1,s.length-1)) + s[s.length-1] + "[/spoiler]"; });
Then to call it,
bookmarklet(bookmarklet, "EXPERT JAVASCRIPT COMBINATOR");
so that it gets itself as y_arg with which to recurse.

The Y combinator just puts a layer on top of that to pass a function to itself as the first argument, so you'd write something like
function wrapped_bookmarklet(text) { return bookmarklet(bookmarklet, text); }
and then it works like any other function and you don't have to fiddle with passing functions to themselves.
