green lightning n.: [IBM] 1. Apparently random flashing streaks on the face
of 3278-9 terminals while a new symbol set is being downloaded. This
hardware bug was left deliberately unfixed, as some genius within IBM
suggested it would let the user know that `something is happening'. That, it
certainly does. Later microprocessor-driven IBM color graphics displays were
actually programmed to produce green lightning! 2. [proposed] Any bug
perverted into an alleged feature by adroit rationalization or marketing.
"Motorola calls the CISC cruft in the 88000 architecture `compatibility
logic', but I call it green lightning". See also feature (sense 6).
