like kicking dead whales down the beach /adj./ Describes a
slow, difficult, and disgusting process. First popularized by a
famous quote about the difficulty of getting work done under one of
IBM's mainframe OSes. "Well, you *could* write a C compiler
in COBOL, but it would be like kicking dead whales down the
beach." See also fear and loathing.
