What is Bbod?
1.
The "Beach Ball of Death". On a modern Apple Macintosh, the spinning "beachball" graphic which replaces the mouse pointer when hovering over a window whose program has stopped responding. Somewhat analogous to the "BSOD" (Blue Screen of Death) on Windows-based computers. Usually BBOD applies when the entire Macintosh is so overburdened or one key program is so hopelessly hung up that rebooting is faster than waiting for the Mac to sort itself out.
I got the BBOD on my Mac when I had about fifty programs up and Firefox got obsessed with a seemingly bottomless web page.

Blue Box of Doom. This mysterious figure has become a Planetside phenomenon only seen in a tower when you spawn as a graphical glitch. The infamous General Chat community of PS Forums worships this glitch and has made it into a widely-known religion across the Planetside community.
All hail the BBoD!
