SWT Speak (Part 1)
There are lots of technical terms the SWT committers use without thinking, assuming that the rest of the world understands. So, if you enter a bug report against Platform SWT, you're cool if you use any of these:
cheese - pixel corruption. "I just clicked and look, cheese everywhere, all over the screen!"
new and improved - a bug was introduced. "The extra mouse up event is new and improved for 3.2."
spew - debugging messages to a console. "Run the example, observe all the GTK spew when you click on the button. Yikes!"
wad - lots of code. "Just cut, paste and exec the wad."

Sorry, but I missed which locale it is under. Is it en_SWT? ;-)

"The wad was new and improved, causing cheese on Windows and spew on GTK."

There's also "cake = unnecesserily complex, multi-layered, full-of-indirections code"
