From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   gorilla arm n.   The side-effect that destroyed touch-screens as
   a mainstream input technology despite a promising start in the early
   1980s.   It seems the designers of all those {spiffy} touch-menu
   systems failed to notice that humans aren't designed to hold their
   arms in front of their faces making small motions.   After more than
   a very few selections, the arm begins to feel sore, cramped, and
   oversized -- the operator looks like a gorilla while using the touch
   screen and feels like one afterwards.   This is now considered a
   classic cautionary tale to human-factors designers; "Remember the
   gorilla arm!" is shorthand for "How is this going to fly in _real_
   use?".
