1. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
Bad Thing
n.
[very common; always pronounced as if capitalized. Orig. fr. the 1930
Sellar & Yeatman parody of British history 1066 And All That, but
well-established among hackers in the U.S. as well.] Something that can't
possibly result in improvement of the subject. This term is always
capitalized, as in ?Replacing all of the DSL links with bicycle couriers
would be a Bad Thing?. Oppose Good Thing. British correspondents confirm
that Bad Thing and Good Thing (and prob. 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. It is very
common among American hackers, but not in mainstream usage in the U.S.
Compare Bad and Wrong.

2. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
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.
