Matz probably knows some Japanese metasyntactic variables...

but I don't know German ones.

I know one person who uses 'alk', 'elk', 'ilk', 'olk' and 'ulk'...
of course, the first and the last are the best ones (these words mean
"alcohol" and "fun").

Words for numbers are of course the WORST possible variable names... think
about

  four = one + seven

or even

  septem = two + fuenf

Below some stupid Ruby script that outputs 42: my first experiment in
Lambda calculus. Seems like Lambda calculus is the strongest possible
obfuscation technique...
