Dwim

DWIM is an acronym meaning "Do What I Mean". It is often used in computer science in a humorous way when speaking about situations where the programmer's actual code does something (usually very subtly) different from what he/she thought it would do when going through it in his/her head. (This is usually the result of a thinko.) DWIM is also sometimes used to refer to a hypothetical programming language. This language is by far the easiest to use, and the most difficult to implement, language in the entire world. All DWIM programs take the following form:
  DWIM 
When executed, the program does what the user wants it to do, without any restrictions. How it does it has never been defined. Obviously, no real-life implementations of DWIM exist for any platform.
