But really this is just a goofy name for one of many options of dynamically creating methods in ruby which is part of that fancy business known as Metaprogramming. Which is a fancy name for the concept of writing code that 'writes' code. It's bananas and great and the best thing you will ever see in your career also it is terrible, horrible, no good and the worst thing you will ever see in your career. We are just going to go over what has been dubbed 'ghost' methods by someone who likes to have cool names for things, there is a lot more to metaprogramming in general than just this technique but it is a pretty good entry point.
