documentation
 n.

    The multiple kilograms of macerated, pounded, steamed, bleached, and
    pressed trees that accompany most modern software or hardware products (see
    also tree-killer). Hackers seldom read paper documentation and (too)
    often resist writing it; they prefer theirs to be terse and on-line. A
    common comment on this predilection is ?You can't grep dead trees?. See 
    drool-proof paper, verbiage, treeware.
