I found an interesting easter egg in some production code...

The source will not be named... But this is hilarious!

Code:
io.OpType = DataTools.OpTypes.DirectInLineDataOperation;

D:

When you see it, you'll shit bricks.
 
I am really bad about avoiding accidental references like this. I named my PrimeGrid sieves "ppsieve" and "tpsieve", and didn't notice the "pp" and "tp" until somebody pointed it out to me. So I'm guessing it's completely unintentional.

Edit: "PP" stands for Proth Prime, and "TP" for "Twin Prime", in case you were wondering.

I once had to fix an app written by a team in India. They didn't get a lot of western references, and mispelled things alot. Some were comical. My favorite was when they had to reference an associated product, and every product belonged to a manufacturer. They commonly abbreviated manufacturer as man, and associated as ass, and what we would normally call ID, they would use "code" So all over the code base there were references to AssCode AssMan, AssManCode, etc.

I can't remember the exact comment in the source, but me and a coworker were ROFL when we read one along the lines of "Put the collection of AssParts into the AssMan's bucket"

Haha, that's pretty classic.
 
A couple years ago in a CS class we were discussing linked lists I think and there was a need to get the head pointer of the list. The professor vigorously began to write 'getHead' on the blackboard but then seemed to catch himself and named it something else without anyone else seeming to have realized nearly transpired.

Mildly entertaining find, but I can't imagine that much thought was put into that name.

That made my day.
