I LEARN A NEW EUPHEMISM FOR "FUCK UP"

(h/t Lawrence Lewis at DKOs)

McClatchy ran an article about FAIL in Afghan and found this keeper:

Rather than scrap a project that's failing, the government sometimes rewrites the contract to require only the work that's been done and declares the effort a success. The process is called "de-scoping."

Had I known this was a possibility then ALL of the computer programs I've written would have been successes.
