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 included the line "[Do not]
   dangle the mouse by the cord or throw it at coworkers."
