evil and rude: adj. Both evil and rude,
but with the additional connotation that the rudeness was due to malice
rather than incompetence. Thus, for example: Microsoft's Windows NT is
evil because it's a competent implementation
of a bad design; it's rude because it's
gratuitously incompatible with Unix in places where compatibility would
have been as easy and effective to do; but it's evil and
rude because the incompatibilities are apparently there not to
fix design bugs in Unix but rather to lock hapless customers and developers
into the Microsoft way. Hackish evil and
rude is close to the mainstream sense of
‘evil’.
