kangaroo code ==>
spaghetti code
<programming> A pejorative term for code with a complex and tangled
control structure, especially one using many GOTOs, exceptions, or other
"unstructured" branching constructs. The synonym "kangaroo code" has been
reported, doubtless because such code has so many jumps in it.
