I didn't change anything! interj.
An aggrieved cry often heard as bugs manifest during a regression test. The [canonical] reply to this assertion is "Then it works just the same as it did before, doesn't it?" See also [one-line fix]. This is also heard from applications programmers trying to blame an obvious applications problem on an unrelated systems software change, for example a divide-by-0 fault after terminals were added to a network. Usually, their statement is found to be false. Upon close questioning, they will admit some major restructuring of the program that shouldn't have broken anything, in their opinion, but which actually [hosed] the code completely.
