It’s not a funny placeholder name, it’s an annoying and extremely cringey placeholder name.

“cringe” is a separate expression analogous to panic but only used inside unsafe blocks and does not halt execution

I don't think they meant funny as in "it made me laugh", but more like "it was intended to not be taken seriously"
