From: The Gospel of Tux
- Crufty:
- Meaning: This term, often used in computing, describes something that is cluttered, messy, and overly complex.
- Think of it as: A software program with a lot of unnecessary features, confusing code, or a user interface that’s hard to navigate.
- Bogacious:
- Meaning: This is a more informal and somewhat dated term, meaning excellent, impressive, or outstanding.
- Think of it as: A synonym for “awesome” or “fantastic.”
“Crufty and Bogacious” is a bit of an oxymoron. It’s like saying something is “messy and perfect” at the same time. It might be used humorously to describe something that is incredibly impressive despite being incredibly messy or complex.
Example:
“That old computer is so crufty, but it’s still bogacious how well it runs that ancient game.”
