COBOL
/koh'bol/ [COmmon Business-Oriented Language] n.
(Synonymous with evil.) A weak, verbose, and flabby language
used by card wallopers to do boring mindless things on
dinosaur mainframes. Hackers believe that all COBOL
programmers are suits or code grinders, and no
self-respecting hacker will ever admit to having learned the
language. Its very name is seldom uttered without ritual
expressions of disgust or horror. See also fear and loathing,
software rot.
