You're naming a file, but the name doesn't matter. what do you usually call it?

I use names that indicate that the file contents can be easily discarded, so a meaningless name like &#x27;xxx&#x27;, &#x27;hhhhhh&#x27; or even indicate specifically that &quot;this is a worthless file&quot; with a name like &#x27;gunge1&#x27; or gunge2&#x27;.<p>I try to make <i>really meaningful</i> names for <i>quality</i> file contents. So those filenames are often very long-winded and specific: &#x27;96_98_100_102_belmore_road _survey_plans_140310.pdf&#x27; or another: &#x27;2-2b_barnes_ave_magill_sales_agency_agreement_n_marketing_program_161130.pdf&#x27;
