TanjTANJ is an acronym for There Ain't No Justice used by author Larry Niven in his Known Space books. Attributed to IT developers, when their new systems don't work, and users, when the software they've just bought hangs their system, plus requires the hard drive to be reformatted. The original phrase was popularized by Robert Heinlein. Niven uses tanj with normal capitalization in his books, rather than all caps as a traditional acronym. It is used in sentences or dialogue to have similar meaning to a word like damn. Characters would also use various forms of the word, including tanjit, roughly corresponding to dammit.
