Query Shaming

The act of characterizing someone's SQL queries as inefficient.

Our database administrator (DBA) while reporting on why our server was slow proceeded to engage in some query shaming Ted's queries.
In today's staff meeting our DBA spoke directely to Ted in order to query shame him about some of the queries he had written.

Vaginal Query

When somebody says something unusual and is replied to by a squeaking sound made by a release of air from the vagina, much like a queef but with a more distinctive tone.

"My wife asked me if I wanted to milk a cow with her for our honeymoon, I replied with a vaginal query."

Rectal Database Query (RDQ)

Another term for a fabrication. An RDQ is when someone is making shit up. What they are saying has no basis or foundation in fact. They are inventing or perhaps just lying to you. In other words, they are pulling it out of their ass. And that, my friends, is what we call a Rectal Database Query.

Sales team associate's conversation:
Sales guy #1: I don't know how my coworker derived these sales figures.

Sales guy #2: I know right?! He must have used an RDQ.
Sales guy #1: What's an RDQ?
Sales guy #2: A rectal database query (RDQ)!
