Program Design Language

   Any of a large class of formal and profoundly useless
   pseudo-languages in which {management} forces one to design
   programs.  Too often, management expects PDL descriptions to
   be maintained in parallel with the code, imposing massive
   overhead of little or no benefit.

   See also {flow chart}.
