1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: boat anchor n. [common; from ham radio] 1. Like doorstop but more severe; implies that the offending hardware is irreversibly dead or useless. ?That was a working motherboard once. One lightning strike later, instant boat anchor!? 2. A person who just takes up space. 3. Obsolete but still working hardware, especially when used of an old, bulky, quirky system; originally a term of annoyance, but became more and more affectionate as the hardware became more and more obsolete. Auctioneers use this term for a large, undesirable object such as a washing machine; actual boating enthusiasts, however, use ?mooring anchor? for frustrating (not actually useless) equipment.
