kafratsis - A made-up machine part that nobody knows what it does. Peopl

A made-up machine part that nobody knows what it does. People use it in jokes to make machines look stupid and broken.

My boss said the printer broke because of a kafratsis. I asked what that was. He said, 'Just don't ask.'

The kafratsis is the reason my car won't start. It's also the reason my life won't start.

My math teacher said the universe is held together by a kafratsis. I asked if that was true. He said, 'No, but I wish it was.'
