why not a,b or x,y?

Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
I have had too many times where I have been confused trying to figure out a giant nested loop because the writer used i/j/k or x/y/z. It’s even worse when they confused when a particular bug is because they confused what their single letter variables were and used j somewhere instead of i and no one caught it because it is so easy to brush over. Name your stuff what it is, make your life easier, make others lives easier.
If you need three iterators, it's time for at least one function encapsulating that inner loop.
