Heheh, in retrospect that does sound like a plausible thing someone might say, "foreign code" meaning "that code written by foreigners". I wonder if there's been studies about cultural influences on code, like how Japanese programmers write code, compared to other countries, etc. Even within the U.S., there was the whole thing about the MIT approach (do the right thing) and the "New Jersey" style (worse is better). "What do you expect from an operating system designed and implemented in New Jersey!"
