dorby

Pejorative term for a person who, in spite of honestly trying, fails or does something silly. Often said with a patronising tone, as if talking to a small child or pet.

When you stuck the fridge seal back on, did you put glue on BOTH sides of the rubber?

Umm, maybe..., yes.

Oh you dorby!

Quality Theatre

Work that attempts to demonstrate quality practices but does not substantially impact the quality of the product.

Manager: We've added return codes to all functions so no fault can slip though!
Dev: That's just quality theatre - the functions always return SUCCESS.
