Ten Absolutely Terrible Code Puns

Due to the nature of reserved words being used in code, sometimes puns get worked in between the lines. I'm just going to explore ten of them today, coming from different languages.

1. String 

Many of these are type declarations. This is a prime example in C++.

string bikini = "Hello world";

2. Char

Again in C++. This pun has mostly regional flavor.

 char kwayteow = '';

3. Double 

This one is a particular favorite. Due to the NSFW nature of the second example, I'm only gonna illustrate the first example.

double Ds = 0.0;
double penetration = 0.0;

4. Dim

This one is in QBasic.

DIM SUM = 0

5. Sub

Another QBasic example, rather convoluted.

SUB marine (torpedo)
    'code here
END SUB

6. Split 

The JavaScript split() method!

var banana = "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog";
var arr = banana.split(" ");

7. Throw 

JavaScript again!

var up = "Error";
throw up;

8. Catch 

JavaScript yet again.

try
{
    //code here
}

catch(cold)
{
    //code here
}

9. Die 

PHP's die() function can be a source of unintended comedy as well...

$hard = "Program terminated.";
die($hard);

10. SQL 

This almost should be a blogpost on its own!

SELECT COUNT(dracula) FROM transylvania;

Done cringing yet?

Pretty awful, eh? If they got any cheesier, we'd be making pizzas!

catch(youlater){}
T___T
