Hands down the 3 hardest problems in programming:
-naming stuff
-off-by-1-errors
For throwaways, I usually pick my repertoire of Result (for holding something that'll get returned) and Scrap (generic temporary).
For stuff like responses from dialog boxes, I either take my old-and-tried Scrap, or give it some meaningful name like "SerialNo" when the user is prompted for a serial.
