Hernan,

Additions to the OLOCA are mined from the Cygwin mailing lists.  I haven't
seen this term used, so I didn't include it (and won't until it's actually
used by someone, in context, more than once).  FWIW, the OLOCA contains
links to other acronym lists, both of which contain this expression (one
in a slightly modified form, i.e., PEBCAK).  So far the Cygwin lists used
other, more to-the-point, acronyms, e.g., YOWTWYWT and BWAM.
