While not exactly "the wild", I came across an example of a comment that wasn't helpful in a textbook back in college. The comment was "horse string length into correctitude". I've made it a mission to use this comment whenever I need to manipulate a string to adjust its length to something the code can handle, just to ensure that it's a legit and helpful comment.

God that sounds awful for a textbook. No wonder a fair bit of people fail out of CS.

It could be intentionally bad, it's odd wording by /u/emag .
