Polywhatism?

Part of "Bad Code"

// elsewhere: class DerivedItem extends BaseItem

public class BaseItem {
    // ...
    
    public boolean isFrobnicated() {
        boolean retval = false;
        if (isFoo) {
            DerivedItem dmThis = (DerivedItem) this;
            retVal = (dmThis.getStatus() == Status.PROCESSING);
        }
        return retval;
    }
    
    // ...
}
