buried treasure
n. A surprising piece of code found in some
program. While usually not wrong, it tends to vary from
crufty
to
bletcherous, and has lain undiscovered only because it was
functionally correct, however horrible it is. Used sarcastically,
because what is found is anything *but* treasure. Buried
treasure almost always needs to be dug up and removed. "I just
found that the scheduler sorts its queue using
bubble sort!
Buried treasure!"
