fat-finger
vt. 1. To introduce a typo while editing in such a way that the resulting
manglification of a configuration file does something useless, damaging, or
wildly unexpected. NSI fat-fingered their DNS zone file and took half the
net down again. 2. More generally, any typo that produces dramatically bad
results.
