Coda Hale lives in Berkeley, CA, where he writes about Ruby on Rails, usability, web design and development, and the occasional bit about bicycles.

This is what I think about sometimes

  • hanky-panky
  • herky-jerky
  • heebie-jeebies
  • hotsy-totsy
  • hocus-pocus
  • hurly-burly
  • higglety-pigglety
  • hobson-jobson
  • holus-bolus
  • hubble-bubble
  • hugger-mugger
  • hurry-scurry
  • helter-skelter
  • harum-scarum
  • hurdy-gurdy
  • hamper-scamper
  • handy-dandy
  • helter-skelter
  • hodge-podge
  • hokey-pokey
  • holy-moley
  • hoochie-cootchie

Thank you, The English Language, for occasionally weirding me out. Linguists, chip in: what the hell?

(On a totally unrelated note, I’ve fixed everyone’s problems with fixtures in Rails tests. Once I’m sure I’ve got it down, you’ll see it here.)
