PEBKAC
/pebkak/ [Abbrev., Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair] Used by
support people, particularly at call centers and help desks. Not used with
the public. Denotes pilot error as the cause of the crash, especially stupid
errors. Very derogatory. Usage: Did you ever figure out why that guy
couldn't print? Yeah, he kept cancelling the operation before it could
finish. PEBKAC. See also ID10T. Compare pilot error, UBD.
