Much of that slang is just old and none is made up by him. The consistency of application is something that should be noted though.
I know "gag a maggot" is at least +30 years old from when I was a kid. It could be older. I also grew up in NC, so the slang could have even been regional.
~~Standby. I remember the episode but not with enough detail to discuss.(I'll get it rewatched now.)~~

Really? That was your takeaway? ROFL!
It was totally fine. Borg implants or not, she was still human. She also didn't have a choice about becoming Borg at such a young age. When her connection was cut with the collective, she basically became a child again making her Janeway's responsibility. (That was close to Janeway's logic I believe, and I agree with it. It was a human decision for another human who was incapable of making decisions.)
The biggest thing is that Seven has already signed a contract with UPN, so she was kinda stuck for a few episodes anyway. Janeway knew this, so after thinking about it over a 50 gallon drum of coffee and a few packs of menthol Kools, she decided to just run with it and make it dramatic. (The Borg attorneys failed to overturn the terms of the contract even after several weeks of absolutely phenomenal work.)
There are about a million different flavors of how to download and execute a shell script. Regardless, you need to redirect the output of curl into bash with the -s flag. Bash needs to know that it is reading from STDIN.
Here is an over-thought stackoverflow page on it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5735666/execute-bash-script-from-url
Also, if the script is not being read properly, that might explain the dpkg lock issue. Running two instances of dpkg simultaneously is likely causing that collision you are seeing. (If one instance is running, it will touch a lock file and then delete it when it stops. It prevents "bad things" from happening when two instances of the same app want the same resources.)
That is odd if your path is broken. It curl should be in /usr/bin and 'which' should find it. Are you somehow launching another shell inside a shell? Like zsh inside of bash, or something in that flavor? (In some rare cases, that would break paths and profile configs for your active shell.)
Regardless of why curl isn't being found, or only partially found, or something, learn "env". You need to get a decent picture of what your working environment is and why something as basic as curl "isn't found". ('which' is about as a baseline of a command as there is.)
The script is complaining that it can't find curl? What is this script that you are using? It's probably got a super-basic check for curl (in the wrong location) that can be modified. (Type in the source URL for it here, or something.)
However, running any script without fully understanding it is not advisable to begin with.
Typing in 'which curl' at the command line should give you the proper location of the existing binary of curl.
Fake or outdated info, actually. While this is a small tangent, I make it a habit to review basic, introductory information on a regular basis. (For example, I'll still watch the occasional 3D printer 101 guide even though I could probably build one from scratch while blindfolded.)
I have been in IT for a very long time and have branched out into other engineering fields over the years. What I have found, unsurprisingly, is that methods and theories can get outdated quick. So, regularly reviewing things I consider "engineering gospel" is just healthy practice.
For the topic at hand, it doesn't take much misinformation (or outdated information) to morph into something absolutely fake, or at best, completely wrong. It takes work to separate fact from fiction and many people are too lazy to look past internet pictures with words, or 15 second video clips. (It's also hard to break out of believing unverified information "just because that's the way is".)
You missed this one?
It doesn't matter if it's a dumb theory. Repeat a conspiracy theory enough and it sticks. (That is not surprising given the number of people that believe in magic.)
You dun turned frog the gay.
I am in my 40's, so it's around the same era. All I am saying is that I have heard all of that slang before and it isn't made up. (I even occasionally use "gag a maggot", actually.)
