Code Coffin
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A darkly funny term for a place where old code is buried but still present, usually because nobody has fully deleted it. In engineering slang, a code coffin suggests dead logic that still haunts the repository.
In plain English: A place where old or dead code is kept instead of fully removed.
Example: "They moved the abandoned import path into a code coffin directory while waiting for legal signoff to delete the last archived data format that depended on it."
