four-color glossies
|
|
|
|
n. 1. Literature created by marketroid s that allegedly contains technical
|
|
specs but which is in fact as superficial as possible without being totally
|
|
content-free. Forget the four-color glossies, give me the tech ref manuals.
|
|
Often applied as an indication of superficiality even when the material is
|
|
printed on ordinary paper in black and white. Four-color-glossy manuals are
|
|
never useful for solving a problem. 2. [rare] Applied by extension to manual
|
|
pages that don't contain enough information to diagnose why the program
|
|
doesn't produce the expected or desired output.
