rude

rude [WPI] adj.  1. (of a program) Badly written.
   2. Functionally 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}.
