WOMBAT adj. [Waste Of Money, Brains, And Time] Applied to
problems which are both profoundly {uninteresting} in themselves
and unlikely to benefit anyone interesting even if solved. Often
used in fanciful constructions such as `wrestling with a wombat'.
See also {crawling horror}, {SMOP}. Also note the rather
different usage as a metasyntactic variable in {{Commonwealth
Hackish}}.
