Dognosis

Dognosis is when you get given a bug to diagnose in someone's code and that someone is being a little bit precious or defensive, every question you ask them is like the cold, wet stabbing of a well-intentioned dog. It's important not to confuse dognosis with diagmoses which is a whole 'nother story.
