pull down to refresh

It's not as simple as others because it relies on options like -Syu, not subcommands like install, but I think it's still better. You can do more at once.
edit: "You can do more at once" is not the best argument, but it will do for now haha

Haha, yeah, I'd have to look up what double y's mean. It's been 3 months since I've used Arch Linux with pacman. I think it means downgrade, so the opposite of one y?

No,
In Pacman, the double yy in the command pacman -Syyu forces a refresh of the package databases even if they appear to be up-to-date.
When I read this yesterday it was a head scratcher
