"Well, words change their meaning, and get additional meanings.  After
all, think about an Italian chef admonishing us that "spaghetti" is
really a kind of pasta, and the term shouldn't be evilly hijacked to
talk about gotos.  I've seen the term "spaghetti" used quite a few times
to describe messy multiple inheritance patterns."

Surely someone can come up with some colorful new image for messy
code of this type. It needs an appropriate term. Calling it spaghetti
coding might be unfair to spagehetti :-)
