Or, favorites among my fellow Help desk staffers...
"It's an IBM error" (Idiot Behind the Machine)
"That's an FDU problem" (F***ing Dumb User)
When we had to include a special file in our software a while ago, and needed to give it a 'technical' sounding name, we named it 'MS-FDU.ocx', in honor of all our wonderful clients!
