my favorite "code" for stupid people is one I learned when I first started working with an end user trouble ticket tracking system back in the 80's. I kept seeing notations for quickly "resolved" issues with the only comment in the resolution box was "pebkac".

After finding one of my staff that had made the notation, I learned that it was an abbreviation....
"Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair" I literally fell over laughing......

Sigh, I would love those for $40. Too far for me.
