I went through a phase where I called all temporary variables 'bob' or 'plop'. I particularly liked plop as it was easy to type on the keyboard. Plus I wanted to be different and not use 'foo'.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Later, when I learned OO, I would give private methods funny names to stop me getting bored. Examples included 'munge' and 'doMe' plus some other slightly ruder ones :P
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
But I don't do that anymore, I stick to putting silly things in my comments.</field>
