"I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth."

--Ursula K. Leguin

WAROGAGOT

WAROGAGOT is a handy acronym which stands for Wailing And Rending Of Garments And Gnashing Of Teeth. I use it sometimes as a tag.

It is also nicely onomatopoetic, being similar to the sound one makes when, for example, one has just spent five hours working on a website, trying to fix a problem, and then trying to fix the problems of the fix, only to find out that it doesn't work anyway and one has to reload the flawed copy of the database from backup and just live with it. And with five wasted hours of computer anguish.

The sound one makes an hour later, when one loads the one line of code that it took three minutes to type which fixes the initial problem is a little different.
