A bug by any other name...

I worked for a company that called bugs "imperfections." Their bug database was called PITS: Product Imperfections Tracking System.

Sounds like a poll in the making!

I've compiled the following catalog of euphemisms for bugs, based on experience at various "megacorps":

Caveats ("open" and "resolved")

Known anomalies (the "unknown anomalies are the real "gotchas"!)

Difficulty reports

Trouble tickets and my favorite, unpronounceable initialisms such as "QDDTS Reports," "SSIDRs," and the like.
