point-and-drool interface

<abuse> (Or "point-and-grunt interface") A parody of "point-and-shoot interface", describing a windows, icons, and mouse-based interface such as is found on the Macintosh. The implication, of course, is that such an interface is only suitable for idiots.

See for the rest of us, WIMP, Macintrash, drool-proof paper.
