Code-Washing (n.)
/ˈkōdˌwäSHiNG/
The recursive process of submitting AI-generated or AI-altered code back into an AI system to remove hallucinated errors, stabilize logic, or restore functionality — often without fully understanding the changes being made.
First used to describe the phenomenon of using AI to clean up its own flawed code outputs in recursive cycles of copy-paste-debug-refeed.

First used to describe the phenomenon of using AI to clean up its own flawed code outputs in recursive cycles of copy-paste-debug-refeed.
Usage:
“The script was broken until I code-washed it through GPT like four times.”
“This smells like a code-washed mess — works, but nobody knows why.”
“We need to stop code-washing broken AI output and start understanding our logic.”

Get the Code-Washingmug. Use this phrase to alert your nearby friends when another friend or lover is off their meds and horny beyond measure.
Sonic: You still haven't taken your meds, huh?
Amy Rose: Let's go home! I'e got a list of fun activities we can try from this website I found called urban dictionary
Sonic: Code rose...?

Get the code rosemug. A code phrase used to describe the presence of a girl that has sex with guys in order to get pregnant and collect child support for the next eighteen years. Can also describe a situation where a guy has potentially impregnated one of these girls.
Code one eight, man. Jessica thinks she’s pregnant and she says she doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Get the Code one eightmug. it is a law followed by all named Gary who must not sexualise fruit like blueberries if they do they are stripped of name and give the title of Jerry /geard the name. Jerry is slang for pervert in tipperary Ireland 🇮🇪
hey hear about Gary he hit on that girl using a blueberry pick upline. damn he broke the code of G better call him Jerry now.

Get the CODE OF Gmug. by poipeoplepersone February 11, 2022
Get the hacker codingmug. A.k.a. "intermittent ink", this term describes the muddled mess of random "dots 'n' dashes" that you typically end up with when feverishly trying to scribble notes with a ballpoint pen on anything but totally "clean 'n' pristine" writing-paper, or when attempting to hastily jot down a few words while holding your paper up against a vertical wall, where gravity ceases to aid ink-flow to the pen-tip.
The infuriating "Morse-code manuscript" debacle tends to manifest itself all the more whenever you're either in a stew or pressed for time, since your hands will tend to perspire a lot more during "nerved up" periods like this, and so the ink will not readily adhere to all of the damp/salty/greasy spots where you've been holding the paper steady while writing. Also, if the paper itself is not the best (like if its surface is excessively flaky/textured, or is coated with a foreign substance, like a cash-register receipt), you may have problems here, as well; this is an especially exasperating dilemma because this type of "inferior" foolscap-scrap may sometimes be the only writing-material that's handy at the time when you unexpectedly have to scrawl down a phone number or other important info/reminder, and so you may encounter this debacle more frequently/unavoidably than you might expect.

Get the Morse-code manuscriptmug. Haters gonna hate, but the truth is this "vibe coding" is actually quite powerful. You can jumpstart some serious projects with it, as long as you know what you're doing.
Just don't be like Dave over there who doesn't have an inkling of a plan and expects the AI to do all the heavy lifting. Be like Adam who gives long detailed instructions and blueprints to the AI coding agent. Unlike Dave, Adam is in complete control of his codebase, and will always steer the AI back on track if he finds the output lacking.

Dave: bro why does the AI keep spitting out random code?
Adam: that's because you're using it wrong. It's not going to make you a sandwich if you don't tell it exactly *how* to make it. If you don't know what you're doing then "vibe coding" isn't for you.
