What we really mean
IMHO, it's a horrible hack that is just broken. It's obscure and we need to rewrite it because it has a bad structure. ^X^Cquit^[ESC][ESC]^C

The first phrase spoken when opening a new project, be it yours or someone elses... "What the fuck..."

I'm basically a god at work cause I knew this already, but never explained the pain I went through to get here.
I'm absolutely guilty of self-documenting code, but mostly because I'm sick of everyone else's lying comments.
"The reason I use Perl is because I wanna write scripts that no one can read and no one can understand so that I can keep my job"
Nano is the only one I know how to use lol (assuming we're talking about in-terminal text editors)

Sometimes I like to pack the most functionality into a single, hard to read one-liner, just for fun. In review I’ll admit “it’s a little bit abstruse”.
Good reference with lots of truth. Maybe, I should print it before having a meeting with other tech teams.
I've been seeing a lot of Perl jokes lately and as far as legacy code I haven't had to edit anything written in that in 25 or so years. For those that haven't used it, getting form variables and rudimentary things like that were like equivalent to regular expressions, everything had some obscure expression you had to look up or copy paste.
