Coffee's for closers -
I named a function once:
fnDontKeepDoubleClickingTheFuckingButtonYouDoofus()
out of frustration.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers. -
i think i've referred to a few PEBKAC errors before, no bad languauge per se though. Maybe i should start...Coffee's for closersComment

It's very strange but I find if you have spent ages getting a function/query etc. to work then just rename it kunt or @rse or something it's sorted in no time. Then you can rename it back without the fault reappearing.bloggoth

I wrote a massive COBOL application once which really pissed me off as they kept changing the specs (took 2 years to do in the end and was originally only a 6 month project.) I used:
BMB - Bugger Me Backwards
BOS - Bag Of tulip
BOA - Bunch Of Arse
as variables. When we handed the thing over they questioned the meaning of the variables and I came out with something like they were special MVS register variables. Some of the code was a bit strange so we called it POO - psuedo object orientated

Years ago when working on PDP11's a bright spark in my office created a file of "error messages" to replace the normal "Syntax Error" you'd get when you made a typo on the command line.
There were 60 messages, and the message displayed was dependant on how many seconds past the minute the current time was.
Needless to say, when a very attractive female client was visiting, what message should appear?

PDP11 and 6 characters for function names.
Working on the scheduler/executive and only 3 characters available since need three to actually describe the purpose of the function.

Worked at one place where an aspberger programmer insisted on variables like ROAST-BEEF and CARROTS.
Needless to say only he could debug the code.
I would have fired the tosser..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Don't insult the programmer, insult the user - much more exciting. This was always a killer (back in about '88):
Code:5 *KEY0 RUN 10 CLS 20 PRINT "Acorn MOS" 20 PRINT 30 PRINT "BBC BASIC 32K" 40 PRINT 50 PRINT "> "; 60 A$ = INPUT$ 70 PRINT "FU CK OFF USELESS SH1T WIPE" 80 GOTO 40 RUN
