bad and wrong
(jargon) | Bad and Wrong
adj.
[Durham, UK] Said of something that is both badly designed and wrongly
executed. This common term is the prototype of, and is used by contrast
with, three less common terms — Bad and Right (a kludge, something ugly but
functional); Good and Wrong (an overblown GUI or other attractive
nuisance); and (rare praise) Good and Right. These terms entered common use
at Durham c.1994 and may have been imported from elsewhere; they are also
in use at Oxford, and the emphatic form “Evil and Bad and Wrong”
(abbreviated EBW) is reported from there. There are standard abbreviations:
they start with B&R, a typo for “Bad and Wrong”. Consequently, B&W is
actually “Bad and Right”, G&R = “Good and Wrong”, and G&W = “Good and Right
”. Compare evil and rude, Good Thing, Bad Thing.
