worm-dogging

(verb)

The act of discreetly relieving an intense, unexpected itch in one’s butt while in public—most commonly at a grocery store—by sitting on the corner or edge of a chair and subtly rocking back and forth.

Often performed instinctively and without shame when no bathroom or privacy is immediately available.

“I wasn’t even halfway through the produce aisle when the itch hit, so I started worm-dogging on the café chair near the entrance.”

coffee mug debugging

Just like the term Rubber duck debugging, which is in software engineering, a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck. Many other terms exist for this technique, often involving different inanimate objects.

The "coffee mug debugging" is the same method of debugging code with which developers force themselves to read and explain their code line-by-line, to the coffee mug. There are developers who calls this planted plot debugging as well. But "coffee mug debugging" seems more convenient at this century since it's easy to find a coffee mug for a developer than a "rubber duck" or "planted plot".

I had done coffee mug debugging for my dart code in flutter and found out a syntax error and fixed it.

alert oriented debugging

Silly-Goose Debugging

Unlike its plastic poultry predecessor 🐤, "rubber duck debugging," this cheeky version, "Silly-Goose Debugging" comes with encouraging head tilts, well-timed sass 😏, and the inevitable 'silly goose' when you forget something as tragic as a semicolon 😱💀. Silly-Goose Debugging is what happens when a programmer vents their code confusion to a trusted human—usually a friend, partner, or unsuspecting bystander🤔—who doesn’t speak fluent code but somehow ends up dissecting your logic like a crime scene investigator 🕵️. They’ll patiently ask you to walk through each step like you're wiring a spaceship with spaghetti and hope 🍝🚀, then hit you with, "Wait… so you meant for it to skip that part?" By the end, you’re fully goosified🪿: bug squashed💪, logic sharpened😎, and ego mildly bruised (in the best way) 😅.

❗Note:
Silly-Goose Debugging isn’t about technical expertise—it’s about breaking down complex logic by verbalizing it with someone who helps you see things differently. It works because explaining things simply forces clarity, and a fresh perspective (even from a non-coder) can work wonders.
This term is perfect for anyone who’s ever solved a bug just by talking it out with a supportive human instead of a squeaky plastic duck.🤪

Example: "I couldn’t figure out why my function wasn’t returning the right value, so I did some Silly-Goose Debugging with my partner. As I explained each step, they kept stopping me with totally non-tech questions like, "Wait, why did it do that?"—and before I knew it, I was officially goosified. That back-and-forth made me realize I was missing a return statement. They didn’t even know what a loop was, but their outside-the-box questions led me straight to the fix."
