all-elbows adj.

[MS-DOS] Of a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) IBM PC program, such
as the N pop-up calendar and calculator utilities that circulate on
[458]BBS systems: unsociable. Used to describe a program that rudely
steals the resources that it needs without considering that other TSRs
may also be resident. One particularly common form of rudeness is
lock-up due to programs fighting over the keyboard interrupt. See
[459]rude, also [460]mess-dos.
