WTF it's JANUARY and they're advertising Easter eggs for sale...bad case of premature encrapulation.

encrapsulation 

A very poorly designed and often unnecessary attempt at utilizing one of the central tenets of object-oriented software, often detrimental to the success.
The latest version of our crapplication makes extensive use of encrapsulation in the design to insure mind-numbingly slow performance.

encrapsulation 

Originally, Object Oriented Programming talks about encapsulation which means hiding all your detailed logic behind a class such that the user can only care about the application level of the function rather than trying to understand all the inner workings.

However, usually, many smaller libraries or examples/framework in assignment made by professors did a poor job to describe how the function really works, nor they have provided any meaningful example about the input of the functions, ending up doing the opposite of what encapsulation originally has claimed which the developer have to look into the implementation or even the whole program just to understand what the function really do.
Example 1: Damn, I am sick of this assignment about building AI agent for a Pacman Game where there is no clear documentation about how every classes works. How can I suppose to know all the properties and expected return data without looking into their encrapsulated agent classes?

Example 2: ("Coming Soon" in the documentation) Oh no... there is no documentation about this highly confusing python function over this confusing input parameter "something". Welp, it is time to find the source code of this encrapsulation to see what type it I should use.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.

funiosity 

The art of being peculiar, but in an amusing fashion.
"Wow, look at that dog running on three legs"
- "Yeah, that sure is a funiosity"
