Client from Hell

Definitions

1. A dramatic phrase for a customer, partner, or consuming system that is unusually difficult to work with. In engineering slang, it can refer either to a human relationship or to a badly behaved client implementation that breaks every assumption.

   In plain English: A very difficult customer or badly behaved client system.

   Example: "The mobile integration was the client from hell because it retried aggressively, ignored cache headers, and kept sending malformed payloads during peak load."
