rude [WPI] adj.
1. (of a program) Badly written. 2. Functionally poor, e.g., a
program that is very difficult to use because of gratuitously
poor (random?) design decisions. Oppose cuspy. 3. Anything that manipulates a shared
resource without regard for its other users in such a way as to
cause a (non-fatal) problem. Examples: programs that change tty
modes without resetting them on exit, or windowing programs that
keep forcing themselves to the top of the window stack. Compare
all-elbows.
