Lol I remember early in my career using "fuck" and "cock" a lot for debugging. Very quickly learned to not do that, I instead replaced it with "banana" for the most part





banana has been there with me from the beginning! There's something weirdly satisfying about this particular word - the spelling, the sound and just sheer siliness just has a calming effect.

To quote Sir Terry,

Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling 'banana', but didn't know how you stopped.


And for fine and trace logging, you've got bananana, banananana, etc.

"ba" + "na" * severity

Going through one file:

    IMPORTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT

    _F for functions.
    _H for headers.
    _V for fuck knows.
There are funnier ones but I am lazy. :P
