Priyankism 

In the field of software development, Priyankism is the unfortunately common phenomenon of code that looks sensible at face value, but after close inspection is actually redundant and/or misleading.

The terms originates from mythical developer Priyanka R. who was notorious for sprinkling all the software she touched with this kind of code.
Developer A: "Man, I spent an hour trying to understand what this function actually does, and it turns out it was doing absolutely nothing!"

Developer B: "Tell me about it! That codebase is full of Priyankisms"
