New Jersey: adj. [primarily Stanford/Silicon Valley]
Brain-damaged or of poor design. This refers to the allegedly
wretched quality of such software as C, C++, and Unix (which
originated at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey). "This compiler
bites the bag, but what can you expect from a compiler designed in
New Jersey?" Compare Berkeley Quality Software. See also Unix
conspiracy.
