Anti-Gravity Bug
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A joking term for a bug that seems to defy normal expectations or refuse to behave according to the apparent rules of the system. In engineering slang, it captures the feeling that the problem is floating above ordinary logic and evidence.
In plain English: A joking name for a bug that seems to make no sense.
Example: "We spent six hours on that anti-gravity bug before discovering a stale feature flag was bypassing the code path everyone thought they were testing."
