Print "N NE E SE S SW W NW"
bash (24 bytes)
using brace expansion
echo N {N,,S}E S {S,,N}W

is the same length as hard coding
echo N NE E SE S SW W NW

however it becomes more interesting when outputing more points of the compass
echo N NNE NE ENE E ESE SE SSE S SSW SW WSW W WNW NW NNW

brace expansion
echo N {{N,,E}N,,{E,,S}S}E S {{S,,W}S,,{W,,N}N}W

otherwise if order could be changed, (17 bytes), the trick is that without quotes the empy string parameter disappears
echo {N,,S}{W,,E}
