PEBKAC /peb'kak/

[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 that even a luser could figure out. 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."
