This is very OT but I think the old term spaghetti code best explaines the
mess that numbered code lines could cause. Especially in combination with
GOTO:s. Take old time BASIC for example:

10 GOTO 50
20 blabla
30 blabla
40 GOTO 20
50 blabla
60 GOTO 30

You see, quickly it all becomes spaghetti on a plate.
