Comment Assembly Comment (Score 1) 502

I was an assembler programmer for a fair while. It was usual to name counters as CNT01, CNT02 etc. These were read out during code reviews as CNT OH ONE. A manager forbade the use of this abbreviation as it was considered crude. Thus we renamed all of the jump entries in the jump tables (remember those?) to the names of favourite girls. These became JMP JANE, JMP NICOLA etc. and were read out as such.
