COBOL fingers
COBOL fingers /koh´bol fing´grz/ n.
Reported from Sweden, a (hypothetical) disease one might get from coding in COBOL. The language requires code verbose beyond all reason (see candygrammar); thus it is alleged that programming too much in COBOL causes one's fingers to wear down to stubs by the endless typing. “I refuse to type in all that source code again; it would give me COBOL fingers!”
