@carnage4life I once ran across some code at work where the variables had ridiculous names like "crab" and "lobster" that had nothing to do with the project.

I was baffled by it at the time but later on I found the example that the previous coder had copy-and-pasted it from online.

@khoi TBF I'm pretty confident the person who put it together was a non-programmer who'd been assigned a programming project and was doing the best they could to figure it out.

Still and all, I like to think that even if I had no programming experience, "crab" and "lobster" would jump out at me as things I should probably customize.
