WIMP environment n.
[acronym: `Window, Icon, Menu, Pointing
device (or Pull-down menu)'] A graphical-user-interface environment
such as X or the Macintosh interface, esp. as described by a
hacker who prefers command-line interfaces for their superior
flexibility and extensibility. However, it is also used without
negative connotations; one must pay attention to voice tone and
other signals to interpret correctly. See menuitis,
user-obsequious.
