drool-proof paper n.

Documentation that has been obsessively [dumbed down], to the point where only a [cretin] could bear to read it, is said to have succumbed to the `drool-proof paper syndrome' or to have been `written on drool-proof paper'. For example, this is an actual quote from Apple's LaserWriter manual: "Do not expose your LaserWriter to open fire or flame." The SGI Indy manual is said to include the line "Do not dangle the mouse by the cord or throw it at coworkers.", but this sounds like parody.
