Regular bear: elif - Just another mundane condition in your code.

Fancy bear: else - Suddenly looking proper with that tuxedo and bow tie.

British chap: otherwise - When your code gets all posh and starts drinking tea while handling exceptions. "I say, good sir, your condition appears to have failed rather spectacularly. Perhaps we should execute this block instead?"

The real pain is maintaining legacy code where some developer decided all three styles were perfectly acceptable in the same codebase.
