pointy-haired
adj. [after the character in the Dilbert comic strip] Describes the extreme
form of the property that separates suit s and marketroid s from hackers.
Compare brain-dead ; demented ; see PHB. Always applied to people, never to
ideas. The plural form is often used as a noun. The pointy-haireds ordered
me to use Windows NT, but I set up a Linux server with Samba instead.
