The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (foldoc)

/krap'tekh/ (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}.
