Rude
[WPI] 1. Badly written or functionally poor, e.g. a program that is very difficult to use because of gratuitously poor design decisions.
Opposite: cuspy.
2. 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.
