drool-proof paper: n. Documentation that has been obsessively dumbed
down, to the point where only a cretin
could bear to read it, is said to have succumbed to the ‘drool-proof
paper syndrome’ or to have been ‘written on drool-proof
paper’. For example, this is an actual quote from Apple's
LaserWriter manual: “Do not expose your LaserWriter to open fire or
flame.” The SGI Indy manual included the line “[Do not] dangle
the mouse by the cord or throw it at coworkers.”
