Bad Thing
(From the 1930 Sellar & Yeatman parody "1066 And All
That") Something that can't possibly result in improvement of
the subject. This term is always capitalised, as in
"Replacing all of the 9600-baud modems with bicycle couriers
would be a Bad Thing".
Opposite: Good Thing.
British correspondents confirm that Bad Thing and {Good
Thing} (and probably therefore Right Thing and {Wrong
Thing}) come from the book referenced in the etymology, which
discusses rulers who were Good Kings but Bad Things. This has
apparently created a mainstream idiom on the British side of
the pond.
