suitably small: adj. [perverted from mathematical jargon] An expression used ironically
to characterize unquantifiable behavior that differs from expected or
required behavior. For example, suppose a newly created program came up
with a correct full-screen display, and one publicly exclaimed: “It
works!” Then, if the program dumped core on the first mouse click,
one might add: “Well, for suitably small values of
‘works’.”
