All-elbows
<jargon> Said of a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) mess-dos program, such as the N pop-up calendar and calculator utilities that circulate on BBS systems: unsociable.
Used to describe a program that rudely steals the resources that it needs without considering that other TSRs may also be resident.
One particularly common form of rudeness is lock-up due to programs fighting over the keyboard interrupt.
