pointy-haired

[after the character in the {Dilbert} comic strip] Describes the extreme form of the property that separates {suit}s and {marketroid}s from hackers. Compare {brain-dead}; {demented}; see {PHB}. Always applied to people, never to ideas. The plural form is often used as a noun. "The pointy-haireds ordered me to use Windows NT, but I set up a Linux server with Samba instead."
