I worked on a project that involved building a constraint-based system that diagnosed short circuits in complex and expensive analogue circuit boards. We named many of the relevant variables after short people (e.g. Ronnie, Corbet, Napoleon, etc etc).
We would have got away with it due to the general lack of external code reviews but our boss heard us discussing a bug that involved one of them.
