What's the most ridiculous name you've given to a method?

Question

Rules:

You have to be the one who named it.

It has to have made it into production.

Mine: (the comment is the original comment I added)

    //WTF?? this should be rethough
    private static float CalculateFudge(bool isLeft, bool isRight, DesignedRoom r)
    {
       ..snip..
    }

Answer 1

Not mine, but

SecrityConuter

Sounds dirty huh?

Answer 2

ExportStuffAndShoveIt()

Export - Exports Data, Stuff - LZMA compresses it Shove - sends it to the remote computer (forcibly)

(:

Answer 3

I did a Moo() function for a Cow class that did some weird things like sing my todo list... It was not a serious class!

Answer 4

public static String getBackdoorPassword()

As a part of public API, of course.

Answer 5

Microsoft beat me on this one. Behold, IExpando!

Answer 6

I wrote a test method that attempted to do everything possible to crash the server and called it EatSh*tAndDie().

Answer 7

I once wrote a class called UberDomain - for good reasons, I promise - but it was refactored into something else before it got to production.

Answer 8

RequestMagic()

It copies all of the rows in a customer record into the request scope using wacky ORM tricks

Answer 9

void yeyFunc();

I was so annoyed at an api someone wrote, I wrote a function to simplify his non-intuitive way of passing function pointers. Being able to use the function made me happy, so that's what I called it.

Answer 10

Pretty sure KillSelf() & KillUser() have made it into a few of mine. I also had a method to delete a log from a database called DropLog, but I thought better of it.

Oh and I wrote a denormalization tool that had a method called Recordify (pronounced Record-Eh-Fye). I was explaining what "denormalization" meant in laymen's terms and the guy thought that turn of phrase was funny and it got batted around so much it was left in.

Answer 11

I named a pie chart routine iLikePie.
