pointed at the object of complaint, and for real emphasis you can
use both hands at once. Doing this to a person is equivalent to
saying "You chomper!" If you point the gesture at yourself, it
is a humble but humorous admission of some failure. You might do
this if someone told you that a program you had written had failed
in some surprising way and you felt dumb for not having anticipated
it.

:chomper: /n./ Someone or something that is chomping; a loser.
See {loser}, {bagbiter}, {chomp}.

:CHOP: /chop/ /n./ [IRC] See {channel op}.

:Christmas tree: /n./ A kind of RS-232 line tester or breakout
box featuring rows of blinking red and green LEDs suggestive of
Christmas lights.

:Christmas tree packet: /n./ A packet with every single option
set for whatever protocol is in use. See {kamikaze packet},
{Chernobyl packet}. (The term doubtless derives from a fanciful
image of each little option bit being represented by a
different-colored light bulb, all turned on.)

:chrome: /n./ [from automotive slang via wargaming] Showy features
added to attract users but contributing little or nothing to
the power of a system. "The 3D icons in Motif are just chrome,
but they certainly are *pretty* chrome!" Distinguished from
{bells and whistles} by the fact that the latter are usually
added to gratify developers' own desires for featurefulness.
Often used as a term of contempt.
