Oversimplified

The modern-day equivalent of a PhD in History from a top University. At least, according to the arguments I've read on Youtube.
Person 1: In Oxford yet?
Person 2: No need, I've watched Oversimplified WW2.

overcomplification 

The procedure or taking something easy or simple and turning it into an perplexing labyrinthine cluster F*** that accomplishes the exact same thing you already had...
I used browse out to our software drive and run setup to install the software the user requested. Then put the computer name in a spreadsheet and I was done. 15 minutes… Tops.

Now I have to do this:
First run the C++ requirement separately…
msiexec /i \\Shares\Software\Microsoft\Runtimes\MS Visual C++ 2010 SP1\extract\vc_red.msi /qn

Then run the installer for Adobe…
msiexec /i \\Shares\Software\Adobe\AIP-AcrobatXIPro11.0.4\AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=\\scwa.loc\Shares\Software\Adobe\SCWA_XI_Pro_License.mst /qb

"It's not working?" Say's the “Genius” that set it up and now can’t figure out how to fix it…

That’s OVERCOMPLIFICATION!

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
