point-and-drool interface (n.)

Parody of the techspeak term point-and-click interface, describing a windows, icons, and mouse-based interface such as is found on the Macintosh. The implication, of course, is that such an interface is only suitable for idiots. See for the rest of us, WIMP environment, Macintrash, drool-proof paper. Also point-and-grunt interface.
