Just to be a bit different, I thought I would compile a list of human error terms. Used one of these a couple of days ago and began wondering what others existed. If you have more terms, add them to the list (via a comment). Use these at your own peril in appropriate (or inappropriate) situations.
- BDU – Brain Dead User
- EBCAD – Error Between Chair And Desk
- ESO – Equipment Superior to Operator
- ID 10 T – pronounced eye dee ten tee (obvious, isn’t it)
- Layer 8 – OSI networking model has 7 layers (thanks Phil – forgot about that one)
- ODM – Operator Driven Mechanism (came across this one on urban dictionary)
- PEBCAK – Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard
- PICNIC – Problem In Chair, Not In Computer
- TSTO – Too Stupid To Operate (I found this one on WikiPedia)
- UBAD – self-explanatory and rarely used (too obvious)

In networking, you sometimes hear people talking about the problem being in Layer 8. The OSI model specifies 7 layers. Guess what the 8th is.
