Moved from comment

[edit]

The "funny" ones should not have entries, but no doubt someone will add them unless we list a few as commentary. Here are the ones from IBMJARG:

  • n. A hypothetical 370 instruction, existence strongly suspected but not yet proven: "Insert Bug under Mask".
  • n. Immense Blue Mountain (or Monolith).
  • n. I've Been Moved, alluding to the favourite game of departmental and divisional reorganisations.
  • n. It’s Better Manually.
  • accr. It beats me.
  • accr. "Insha'Allah Bukra Malesh" (Arabic - "God willing, maybe tomorrow"): phrase coined by western expatriates in the Middle East as a gentle parody of the general lack of urgency in getting things done.
