Global search and replace can do funny things. I remember chuckling over program listings which contained the words "redunp.qdant" and "redunp.qdancy" all over the place. All source files in a huge code library had been pasted to replace the string "dan" (Disk Access Number) with "p.qdan" (a certain kind of disk address embedded in a larger record).

LOL!! I know what you mean. I made a similar experience myself. Unfortunately I don't remember the phrase that got replaced but I know we had a good time when reading the "new" version ;-)
