Lord knows we don't want flippant manual pages.  What we need are more
software engineering cacademoids[1].  That'll solve the software

[1] cacademoid n. [fr. L caca (feces) + academe + -oid, fr. Gk eidos
(form or shape)]: The lowest creature in higher education; typically,
a sexually repressed, humorless, and self-impressed professor or
administrator afraid of the real world, incapable of teaching and
producing useful research, and hostile to new ideas; found in every
kind of academic institution, cacademoids love to serve on committees,
despise students, and venerate their inferior superiors.  "Professor
Freddy Cavity claims there are no dialect terms for genitals in
American English.  What a cacademoid!"
