interesting

From S23Wiki

This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for interesting - Next: Internet, Prev: INTERCAL
:interesting: /adj./ In hacker parlance, this word has strong connotations of annoying, or difficult, or both. Hackers relish a challenge, and enjoy wringing all the irony possible out of the ancient Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times". Oppose trivial, uninteresting.
