spaghetti inheritance: n. [encountered among users of object-oriented languages that use
inheritance, such as Smalltalk] A convoluted class-subclass graph, often
resulting from carelessly deriving subclasses from other classes just for
the sake of reusing their code. Coined in a (successful) attempt to
discourage such practice, through guilt-by-association with
spaghetti code.
