QUICK UNALIAS 
If you have aliased a command to somehting and want to quickly
 unalias it, preceed the name with a backslash, '\', and it
 will have the original meaning. For example, if you have 'rm'
 aliased to 'rm -i' and want to remove one entire directory without
 being prompted for each file, you would do:
 
 $ 
m -fr dirname
 
 where 'dirname' is the directory you want to trash.
