Strangely enough, they did not accept the patch. Even if the reference was a slightly immature joke, "penis" is a word, after all, and there's no reason not to improve the dictionary.

As a rule, the Core Team does not accept Rails Inflector patches for alternative spellings.

Perhaps they do not want to set a precedent?

I am sorry this is just too funny, but i noticed the diff which is aptly named. The last line says CamelToUnderscore, I thought it said CamelToe. Ah Fridays.

My favourite bit

+1 to penis enhancement. The current penis behavior is broken, without this it just won't perform properly. My expectation with rails is that I should be able to git it up and have Penis work from first pull all the way through deployment to as many servers as will come online. It may not be broken, but it's definitely badly bent.

I wonder who came up with that bug - I mean what application are they developing that needs a database table called penises?

Let alone methods like:

has_many :penises

or

has_and_belongs_to_many :penises

I'm sorry I went there, but someone was going to say it.

the word penis now appears twice on the front page.

Not quite: the other one is 'pen1s'.

"The * game", involves a competition among friends, in public, to take turns saying a word at ever increasing volume. First to refuse to say the word because the requisite volume shout would be too mortifying, loses. Good for movie theaters before or during the show.

Also good for 12 year olds.

I once attended a lecture in which the lecturer proved that this game is isomorphic to 1-column Nim.
