TFS Term of the Day: Self-Toast

I was browsing the Process Guidance for the MFS for Agile in TFS and in the Team Build, Work Product section for Developers I came across this...

"A team build is the compilation of all of the files, libraries, or components into a new set of executables, libraries, or components. Team builds that pass verification tests, are referred to as self-test. Builds that do not pass are referred to as self-toast."

LOL. The "self-toast" made me laugh (and snort-laugh too, which I hate doing :)

Based on a quick google, it looks like a valid term.

Here’s a post quote that explains the term, "your computer is toast if you install them." I like it... Added to the official Greg Dictionary.

That's not a VSTS specific term and by no means is it new. That designation for a build has been used internally around Microsoft for years: like 5+ years.
