elephant clicking

When a technical person (developer, engineer, scientist, et al.) uses a UI tool to solve a problem instead of the command line or underlying program.

The 'elephant' comes from the PostgreSQL elephant and the many related SQL GUI clients that allow developers to avoid using SQL from the command line for queries. However, this phrase is not limited to PostgreSQL and can refer to any other GUI or related to tool that allows a user to click around to find their way.

This phrase originated at Even Financial, an incomparable Fintech company in the heart of NYC.

Multi-Clicking Method

1) A method used by those who submit to urbandictionary. The method involves going to urbandictionary every day to click the thumb up in order to try to gain viewers, because it didn't make the word of the day.

2) Something that will happen to this definition if it does not become word of the day.

Goddammit! My words fart echo, lower angelina, sperm derm, and kesha with a dollar sign did not become word of the day. Now I am never going to be the big-shot urbandictionary submitter. Oh well! I better resort to the Multi-Clicking Method
