I think this runs into the intersection of the "code is art" and "code is a tool" crowds. I like to name my API methods with a little whimsy too...




I remember writing a function to convert a string from snake case to camel case and calling it `humpify`. And another that would take a string and locate the constant with that name called `constantinople`.

But then, this is ruby and it's known for its unusual naming. Plus both also had sensible/boring aliases and they were for internal use only.
