I got so downvoted on reddit when I tried to replace the term "monkey patching" with "god patching" - guess I couldn't quite convince people that "god patching" would be a more appropriate name ... ;) But hey - I am just glad that I don't seem to be the only one with a slight dislike for the term "monkey patching".
