A term used by seasoned drummers to note and harshly discourage an inefficient tom set up used by a new drummer. Can often be seen as two toms placed in ridiculous amounts of angle, the bottom facing out and the top facing in.
Basically, if you suck technically at setting up your drums it shows. Also your technique is no good and you're going to damage your wrists/hands...for life.

New Drummer:...oh.
