CrApTeX /krap'tekh/ n.

[University of York, England] Term
of abuse used to describe TeX and LaTeX when they don't work (when
used by TeXhackers), or all the time (by everyone else). The
non-TeX-enthusiasts generally dislike it because it is more verbose
than other formatters (e.g. troff) and because (particularly
if the standard Computer Modern fonts are used) it generates vast
output files. See religious issues, TeX.
