Some people think that's a bad idea. Others, of course, think it's a good
idea, but the administrator of this list apparently falls into the first

>From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996)
cough and die /v./
Syn. barf. Connotes that the program is throwing its hands up by
design rather than because of a bug or oversight. "The parser saw a
control-A in its input where it was looking for a printable, so it
coughed and died." Compare die, die horribly, scream and die.
