documentation: n. The multiple kilograms of macerated, pounded, steamed, bleached, and
pressed trees that accompany most modern software or hardware products (see
also tree-killer). Hackers seldom read paper

terse and on-line. A common comment on this predilection is “You
can't grep dead trees”. See
drool-proof paper, verbiage,
treeware.
