off your hotkeys


(adjectival phrase, pejorative) nonsensical

origin- in touch typing characters a,s,d,f are covered by the fingers of the left hand and the characters j,k,l,; are covered by the fingers of the right hand. if one or both hands are out of position the typical result is a cascade of typographical errors.

the term is meant to be condescending, perhaps even insulting. usage is uncommon outside of nerd, geek and clerical circles.

the pr-noun “your” may be replaced with other appropriate possessive pr-nouns, i.e. his, her, their, my.
literal- “the quick brown fox” may transpose to “yjr wiovl ntpm gpc”

figurative usage- you think lowering taxes will decrease the national debt? you’re off your hotkeys.
