adj. [primarily Stanford/Silicon Valley] Brain-damaged or of poor design.
This refers to the allegedly wretched quality of such software as C, C++,
and Unix (which originated at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey). This
compiler bites the bag, but what can you expect from a compiler designed in
New Jersey? Compare Berkeley Quality Software. See also Unix conspiracy.
