/bagbi:t@r/ , n. 1. Something, such as a program or a computer, that fails
|
|
|
|
|
to work, or works in a remarkably clumsy manner. This text editor won't let
|
|
|
|
|
me make a file with a line longer than 80 characters! What a bagbiter! 2. A
|
|
|
|
|
person who has caused you some trouble, inadvertently or otherwise,
|
|
|
|
|
typically by failing to program the computer properly. Synonyms: loser ,
|
|
|
|
|
cretin , chomper. 3. bite the bag vi. To fail in some manner. The computer
|
|
|
|
|
keeps crashing every five minutes. Yes, the disk controller is really biting
|
|
|
|
|
the bag. The original loading of these terms was almost undoubtedly obscene,
|
|
|
|
|
possibly referring to a douche bag or the scrotum (we have reports of Bite
|
|
|
|
|
the douche bag! being used as a taunt at MIT 1970-1976, and we have another
|
|
|
|
|
report that Bite the bag! was in common use at least as early as 1965), but
|
|
|
|
|
in their current usage they have become almost completely sanitized.
