I always have to look up yak shaving when I read the term. I find it hilarious that Wikipedia seems to have two definitions for it, which are practically the exact opposite of each other.

So to use this great term to it's fullest extent, I would guess a lot of programmers think they're yak shaving when they're really just yak shaving.

Hahaha that's amazing, also I didn't know there were other spellings. I was thinking about yacc as I wrote yakk but I guess it's yak. Funny how associations work. And don't forget bike shedding and cargo culting!
