Uppercase Bad Thing 22 Sep, 2005
This is something that we keep mentioning at the office: some things are “bad” but it's hard to explain exactly how bad it is without using voice inflection, so it's easy to transcribe it into an email or IM.
Thus, we coined the term “uppercase bad thing” for when something
is not just “bad” but catastrophically bad. For future reference,
it is written out as an "\Ubad thing"
because Cameron and I know
Perl.
