That's crazy. One of the weirdest things I've seen was a column named POrN with a datatype of bit(SQL Server's equavalent of bool). We had no clue what it meant. We guessed maybe some lonely developer stuck that in there one evening long ago.
Eventually, we discovered that it was actually P or N which stood for "positive or negative". It still didn't make much sense and needed to be renamed, but we got a good laugh out of it. I guess the original developer just didn't realize the association. The code was from India, so I'm sure English was not his first language.
