object-oriented programming

The most overrated and overhyped programming paradigm on earth.

Frequently leads to over-engineering and is at the moment most commonly done using the Java programming language, which has a particularly shitty brand of object-orientation. Other popular object-oriented programming languages include C++ and C#.

Idiot: Man, that's such a hard project. Let's use object-oriented programming to make out life easier.
Rock-star programmer: You're fired.

verb the whole object

A snowclone often used in New Age, pseudoscientific or borderline fields to cast a warm glow over the enterprise in question. Meant to imply, usually fallaciously, that the real scientists or professionals are missing out on something that their clients urgently need, or at least want very very badly but for some arcane reason are unable or afraid to articulate.

Examples of phrases using the "verb the whole object" construction would be:

"Alternative" practitioners treat the whole patient. (Unlike those bloody doctors, of course.)

Home birth widwifes read the whole woman.

Organic caterers use the whole plant. (I wonder if they make rhubarb crumble).
