Word often used by a reservations agent at a hotel to describe what must have happened to a guest that books a room that's not available because the wrong availability was posted on said hotels website.

Guest: I was just on your website and i booked a one-bedroom condo...I'd like to get my confirmation #.

Reservations Agent:{after noticing that this specific room type was sold out} I am sorry sir..but I show that you booked a 2-bedroom condo.

Guest: No, I booked a 1-bedroom. I was just on your site.

Reservations Agent: There must have been a computer glich.

organic computer glitch

When you make a mental blunder for no apparent reason, similar to a brain fart.

I have no idea why I did that, it must have been an organic computer glitch.

Must have been a computer-glitch

A modern-day "get-out-of-dutch" statement dat is da standard --- and generally untruthful --- response when someone indignantly inquires why he was overcharged/invalidly billed, needlessly disturbed, wrongfully detained, etc., when he had specifically taken careful steps to ensure dat he would not have any problems in said area of his life.

If someone in authority tells you, "Sorry -- must have been a computer-glitch" or, "I dunno --- must have been an accounting error" in response to your resentfully asking him why you were incorrectly bothered, you should strongly suspect dat this response is merely a standard "canned answer" dat he gives to every protesting citizen whom he and/or da organization dat he represents investigates/contacts in error; in reality, off course, it's probably intentionally being done in da hopes dat they can gain unearned/undeserved monetary benefits, give themselves a fatter workload so dat they look busier than they actually are, drum up more business, etc.
