Pdl
  • /P-D-L/, /pid'l/, /p*d'l/ or /puhd'l/ n. `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 to little or no benefit.
