all-elbows adj.

[MS-DOS] Of a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) IBM PC program, such

as the N pop-up calendar and calculator utilities that circulate on

[458]BBS systems: unsociable. Used to describe a program that rudely

steals the resources that it needs without considering that other TSRs

may also be resident. One particularly common form of rudeness is

lock-up due to programs fighting over the keyboard interrupt. See

[459]rude, also [460]mess-dos.
