== Ralphinize ==

Ralphinize originated from a man named Ralph who was, according to upper management, an excellent eingineer. However, to his co-workers he was nothing more than a problamatic, self-centered poor excuse for an engineer. Everything he did was complicated to the point of no return. His co-workers sometimes decided it best to start from scratch when trying to fix up his messes. So to RALPHINIZE means to over complicate things which should be simple.

A good example of "to Ralphinize" would be the following C# code. Normally a programmer would state the following:

X = Y,  The Ralphinized version would be (C# code)

if ((X > -1) && (X < 32,767)) { Switch (X) {      case 0: Y = 0; break; case 1: Y = 1; break; case 2: Y = 2; break; default: // this can not happen because X is a bool (0 or 1) break; } }

As can be seen, the Ralphinized version is much more complicated. A place where this would be beneficial would be politics. Politicians would claim they understand why it was done in such a manner and create a multi-million dollar study to prove it.
