Found this in some code at work today:

Code:
    class Cnt {
        int totalCnt = 0;
In all fairness, programmers do abbreviate stuff all the time, like desc for description and this code has likely been there for years. However, I'm not sure if this was someone too lazy to type out "Count" or someone thinking they were being funny.

I have a troubled history with the word that first came to mind when I saw this. I'm trying to not be all overly-offended feminist about this, but it is a little triggering seeing this. I'm not the only one who saw that word first, right? I mean, I actually had to read the code to figure out what it was supposed to be.

Thanks for this!
