Well yes, HN people being childish about genitalia is one thing, but ridiculous French naming schemes are another. In the french finite element package code_aster there were 2 different variables named coq_massif and massif_coq, which in the context of finite element translates to "solid beam", but seriously? I realize I'm on thin ice, dabbling in national stereotypes, but in my experience French software developers absolutely suck at naming things.
