Honestly though, the "rape" thing was pretty offputting to me. Completely gratuitous and not at all clever.

- Confusion 17y agoHe may just be translating a common expression from his native language into English and doesn't realize how forceful it sounds. 'You've completely raped that function' is the literal translation of something I would say to someone that rewrote a function in a bad way. It would be considered to be less offensive than something that would translate as "you fucked it up". It's closer to 'you've completely wrecked that function'.
