Not being familiar with it, I started with a netshoot search.

Which led me to the [Netshoot Announcement Tweet](https://twitter.com/learnk8s/status/1106321705704849408?lang=en).

Which led me to [@nicolaka's github page](https://github.com/nicolaka/netshoot?utm_sq=g0nqqcno99) for the project.

Which showed this howto:
```
If you want to spin up a throw away container for debugging.

$ kubectl run --generator=run-pod/v1 tmp-shell --rm -i --tty --image nicolaka/netshoot -- /bin/bash
```
That pretty much matches this PR'r alias text exactly, so I'd say this is legit, and useful!

One note, regarding:
```
uuidgen | tr A-Z a-z | sed 's/-//g'
```

Wondering how portable/prevalent we consider `uuidgen` to be?

A quick search for "bash random string" came up with techniques utilizing `/dev/random` which I like less than  uuidgen, tbh.

Wondering if we might like something along the lines of:
```
$ date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%s"

Not sure how portable uuidgen is

Thanks - let's use this with `uuidgen` for now. If people are using the alias and find the `uuidgen` usage problematic, we can look at other options.
