Leaning toothpick syndrome
In programming, leaning toothpick syndrome (LTS) is the situation in which a quoted expression becomes unreadable because it contains a large number of escaped slashes ("/"), usually set off by backslashes (""), along with other visually similar characters such as pipes ("|"). The official Perl documentation introduced the term into wide usage; there, the phrase is used to describe regular expressions which match Unix-style path names, in which elements are separated by forward slashes.
