I am used to far more abstract ways to access data, like directly using hexadecimal memory addresses. That makes me very unobsessed with naming in general. And there are far too many masters of the obvious who name things after, well, obvious or easy to find out things instead of using the variable name to hint at the intention behind a variable.

Anyway, I usually prefer the shorter version. Calling a variable 'ConnectionString' is more than enough. 'ZeroTerminatedArrayOfCharactersWithConnectionInformationForTheApplicationButNotForTheSeparateDatabaseWithUserInformation' might be a little too unwieldy, especially when everything is named like this. And I have seen people go overboard like that. Even with two monitors you can't even read a short line without scrolling.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
