No I meant newspeak. If you name everything in an app with noncommittal things and then use them in different spots to mean different things, you end up with code that has to be memorized to be understood.

As someone more eloquent said, they are so afraid of making a bad decision that they try not to make any at all. Everything is named neutral words like 'context' or 'options', the verbs are neutral too, and there are other code flows that use the same name with different data.

As a general rule, if you would describe a code flow out loud in plain English, and not use any of the nouns or verbs that appear in the code, someone has ruined that piece of code.
