Code which needs a working web connection to be readable is useless.
Now, if "wuggins" were a standard term of trade in the business for
which this code is written, that's another matter. If you read code
written for a specific business, you need to know how this business
works anyway, or you're not going to understand what the code is for
even if it's explained in simple words of one syllable. But even then, I
find the above less readable than a simple
<statement using an expression> + 1; /* plus wuggins */
It's not even significantly shorter than
<statement using an expression> + wugginscorrection(N);
