In my university, the slang term for an uninitialized variable was "dead squirrel". IIRC, some TA had described uninitialized C++ variables as follows: "It could be any value: zero, 100, or even a dead squirrel." If hurl ever allows uninitialized variables, I would love to see use of an uninitialized variable to `hurl` a `squirrel`! :)
