rude

   poor, e.g., a program that is very difficult to use because of
   gratuitously poor (random?) design decisions.  Oppose cuspy.
   3. Anything that manipulates a shared resource without regard for
   its other users in such a way as to cause a (non-fatal) problem.
   Examples: programs that change tty modes without resetting them on
   exit, or windowing programs that keep forcing themselves to the top
   of the window stack.  Compare all-elbows.
