Function: abbreviation
Policy Of Least Astonishment, a principle in interface design/engineering that existing practices and expectations should not be changed without enough prior notice and discussion, in order to avoid catching other colleagues with unexpected confusion and/or frustration.
Repeated violation of POLA is often a sign of a prima donna (someone with an egotistical "my way, or no way" attitude).

Hey, good job violating POLA by negating the return value of that function... Do you even realize you just broke the entire thing for 6289367918234 days until the others fix their own code that calls your function?

A very intelligent, nerdy, yet beautiful young woman. She is a great friend if you are to her. If you are mean to her she will hold a grudge against you forever. Pola is quick to lash out at someone who is bullying her or her friends. Never anger a Pola.

The coolest person ever. Once someone tried to be just a mere 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000 as cool and died because their body could not physically handle the insane amount of awesome circulating through their veins. He exploded so violently that all the dinosaurs went extinct. Scratch that... he exploded so hard he generated the Big Bang and created all of existence besides one corpse. That was the corpse of their uncool, dead body. I’m sorry to break it to you, but unless YOU are Pola herself, could not possibly be as cool, beautiful, or perfect as her. That is all, you may leave now. VIVA LA POLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pola is my best friend! -me

Slang term to refer to body parts of someone you're checking out, the part is to be inferred depending on the pronunciation.
