1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: WOMBAT /wom'bat/, adj. [acronym: Waste Of Money, Brains, And Time] Applied to problems which are both profoundly uninteresting in themselves and unlikely to benefit anyone interesting even if solved. Often used in fanciful constructions such as wrestling with a wombat. See also crawling horror, SMOP. Also note the rather different usage as a metasyntactic variable in { Commonwealth Hackish}. Users of the PDP-11 database program DATATRIEVE adopted the wombat as their notional mascot; the program's help file responded to ?HELP WOMBAT? with factual information about Real World wombats.
