No-one else seems to have referred to it yet, so I'll get it inI always liked the "Layer 8 error".
Explanation for the uninitiated.
The OSI Reference model for networking is basically a way of illustrating communications between systems. They run from layer 1 (Physical) to layer 7 (Application) with each layer up the chain encapsulating and abstracting the lower levels.
Anyway, the layer higher than layer 7 would be by extension the user, and a layer 8 problem is a nicely politic way of describing the end-user as a dumbfuck.
