Re: VMs: Epibrating

["Kim Fierens" <kimfierens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Dutch verb "epibreren" was invented by an unknown civil servant around
1950 and first used in print in 1954 by S. Carmiggelt, and it means
something like this:

doing things without letting anyone know what you're doing and letting these
things look very important (while actually they're trivial).

Can be used in both the active and the passive form.

So, someone who's epibrating a file is just very bored, nothing else to do
and does all kinds of trivial things to that file (e.g. looking up all the
words that begin with S) while saying that it's very important work.

Yours,
Kim
