adj. [perverted from mathematical jargon] An expression used ironically to
|
|
|
|
|
characterize unquantifiable behavior that differs from expected or required
|
|
|
|
|
behavior. For example, suppose a newly created program came up with a
|
|
|
|
|
correct full-screen display, and one publicly exclaimed: It works! Then, if
|
|
|
|
|
the program dumped core on the first mouse click, one might add: Well, for
|
|
|
|
|
suitably small values of works.
