Recently, I wrote about the glories of the Jargon File and remarked that the hacker jargon it records is often hilarious. It’s easy to burn up a couple of hours browsing around in it.
Now Jeff Atwood over at Coding Horror has a list of his 30 favorite new terms that he’s culled from Stack Overflow. These are very funny and definitely worth a couple of minutes of your time.
Some of my favorites are:
- Yoda Conditions
- Higgs Bugson
- Common Law Feature
- Protoduction
- Jenga Code
I’ll let you check Atwood’s post for their definitions. Go ahead; you need a bit of comic relief.
