Well, for evocative names, there's always Brainfuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck) - which is a real language, with derivatives even. And the name is truly accurate. :-)

Ah first time I came across a language with such an evocative name. Since I am too paranoid to click on a link, perhaps you could summarize. I did a search and it seemed to indicate that the language was a joke. Sigh.

        come up with a social language for computers?  No, I'm not
        talking lojban, I'm talking something something semantically
        and/or syntactically ambiguous.  Maybe lingodroids is close.
        More work in this area would be interesting.


    Well PPL (Paranoid Programming Language) might come close.
