From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
WOMBAT
/wom'bat/, adj.
[acronym: Waste Of Money, Brains, And Time] Applied to problems which are
both profoundly {uninteresting} in themselves and unlikely to benefit
anyone interesting even if solved. Often used in fanciful constructions
such as wrestling with a wombat. See also {crawling horror}, {SMOP}. Also
note the rather different usage as a metasyntactic variable in
{Commonwealth Hackish}.
Users of the {PDP-11} database program DATATRIEVE adopted the wombat as
their notional mascot; the program's help file responded to ?HELP WOMBAT?
with factual information about Real World wombats.
