Magic smoke
The magic smoke (also called blue smoke or magic blue smoke and sometimes prefixed with the definite article) theory is a running in-joke originating among electrical engineers and technicians before more recently being adopted by computer programmers. The magic smoke hypothesis is based on the real-life observation of the emission of blue smoke from microchip packages when the chip has been allowed to overheat or forced to conduct extreme electrical current.
