It is my fervent opinion that more coder-types should include "Hoon de hoon, bork bork bork" in their code.

That is all.

that assumes that the comment their code in the first place.

one could do it in variable names

stuff like $idontcare (in German $istmirdochegal which an acquaintance actually used).
I can just see it: define bork_bork_bork vector (0,1,7);

I confess to naming a trio of variables Hewey , Lewey & Dewey ( actually their German names of Tick, Trick and Track ) though not in production code.

As you see, there is no need to mar perfect code with ungainly comments.

I'm currently using variable names like vaAnal and vaStupidity in my VB project.

:-D

Last year a couple of friends from Germany asked me the names of Donald Duck's nephews, and thought I was making them up... not the names, but the fact that they're all spelled differently. :)

Huey, Dewey and Louie.

English is a crazy language.

I stand corrected - I copied those from a google hit but did not check for spelling on a Disney site. As to English spelling being weird - yes. I suspect that derives from the various sources modrern English comes from -I remember someone telling me that Knight used to be spoken Knicht ( with sopen k and a somewhat guttural ch which makes it related to German Knecht [~servant] and the spelling reasonable).

Yes, the modern English is definitely a mutt of a language, with its French, German and Spanish influences. I'm sure you'd find Swahili in there too, if Africa had invaded and/or intermarried into the UK peoples. :)

hahaha

thank you for pointing that out

[kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com]

True.

I'll amend my statement to say that more coder-types should, in their well-commented code, include the phrase "hoon de hoon, bork bork bork."

Those of us from the XP school of thought don't use no comments.

But we do write tests, and tests need test data.

I shall be sure to include more Borks therein. Thank you for your kind suggestion.
