Wonderful naming
-
I see so much "wonderful" code over here, so I'd like to put my 5 cents as well. Once I had the "pleasure" of working with Japanese guys (I have nothing agains Japanese, put those were especially "talented"). Can you imagine a class named "Cmoag1000Helper" containing the method "getKakko"? But they created such a masterpiece. Especially I like method name. The folks around who speak Russian already have got the point, I think. For the rest of you I'll explain. The word "kakko" sounds very close to the Russian word which, when translated to English, actually means (sorry for being rude, but it's only the truth) "turd" ("sh*t", "excrements", whatever you wish to call it, the sence is the same). So I had to work with the class that was capable of retrieving sh*t, that was just great :) .

It also sounds very like the English word cack, which comes from the the Dutch Word Kak (meaning Sh*t). Khaki is related IIRC (sh*t coloured)[edit: no it doesn't, it means dust-coloured. That's a comprehensive education for you....] and poppycock (from the Dutch meaning soft Sh*t). I'm full of useful sh*t today!
Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^]

A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]Interesting (or not) as this may be I think there is a similar sounding word in many languages. The german word is "Kacke" which translates to sh*t with "kacken" being the verb and a equally favorite adjective "kack". Too ... much ... information :-D

English is closely related to Dutch (its base grew out of the same root language) and further back German, Dutch and English had a common ancestor. English only sounds different because it was smattered through with a little Scandinavian, a bit of French and some Latin later (Latin came through the Monasteries) plus it's been shedding inflections like billy-o since Anglo-Saxon times. They are probably still related to the word Khaki, this is Urdu apparently, and European languages had a common ancestor with Indian ones. It's telling that the Urdu word means dust/earth if Wikipedia is to be trusted, so they even have a similar meaning.

Oh, man. Will I see any responces from languages like French, Italian, Spanish... For your information, there is appropriate verb in Russian - "какать" (it's in Cyrillic, I hope you have Unicode), means "to take a sh*t".

I really hope the class (in in the very least, an instance) was named "golgothan".

A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]Yeah, I do remember something about stem of indo-germanic languages. There was this bit with "Ma" for mother which has homophones in these languages: Ma, Mama, Mom, Mother, Mutter, mater, madre etc.

Maybe it's a new Toyota safety feature. So if you have a car crash and Kakko your pants, there's no mess to clean up. ;) [edit] Actually if you've seen the hi-tec toilets they sell over in Japan... getKakko wouldn't be that an uncommon method
"You get that on the big jobs."

It's not that new, I worked on that code in the end of 2009. Put perhaps they sold it to Toyota after we finished business :) I think they wanted to create a firmware for carpet-producing macnines (so that carpet would automatically wipe driver's ass after crash), they didn't tell exactly. But there is a bug in this software. Some of you might have heard about new Toyotas which don't stop when they're told to (by using brake pedal). Instead they hit poor trees. And officials say there is a problem with driver's carpet. Well, it's the truth. Because of bug in "getKakko" function in carpet-producing machines firmware, carpets do not, I repeat, do not wipe driver's ass in case of crash. Instead they lubricate themselves with crap (from reserve storage) and become. you know, a little slimy... I presume you've got the point :)

I'd rather think of The Onion's E-Toilet. See here: http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-etoilet-to-revolutionize-online-shitting,633/[^]
