From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Wrong Thing n.   A design, action, or decision that is clearly    incorrect or inappropriate.   Often capitalized; always emphasized in    speech as if capitalized.   The opposite of the {Right Thing}; more    generally, anything that is not the Right Thing.   In cases where    `the good is the enemy of the best', the merely good -- although    good -- is nevertheless the Wrong Thing. "In C, the default is for    module-level declarations to be visible everywhere, rather than just    within the module.   This is clearly the Wrong Thing."
