all-elbows
all-elbows adj. [MS-DOS] Of a TSR
(terminate-and-stay-resident) IBM PC program, such as the N
pop-up calendar and calculator utilities that circulate on {BBS}
systems: unsociable. Used to describe a program that rudely steals
the resources that it needs without considering that other TSRs may
also be resident. One particularly common form of rudeness is
lock-up due to programs fighting over the keyboard interrupt. See
{rude}, also {mess-dos}.
