In response to my post on the word “foo”, a coworker sent me this link:

Some of these are freakin hilarious, but I think my favorite is:
A naming convention from the world of C++ is the use of “m_” in front of members. This is supposed to help you tell them apart from methods, so long as you forget that “method” also starts with the letter “m”.
And to preemptively address my more sarcastic students (you know who you are), yes, I will dock points if you attempt to use any of the suggesting naming conventions.
