Do they honestly expect me to believe that there wasn't a more appropriate way to abbreviate "cumulative maximum" than cummax? Imagine the headaches the inventor of the world's first Python powered sexbot will suffer when they realise that the method name cummin has already been taken.

I'll defend this. No amount of funny connotations would get me to rename an otherwise perfectly good function name. And not out of a childish desire for mischief like you lot, just out of general principle.

Seriously, I will never rename a thing just because it has a little cum on it.
