glitch

wikipedia says: »A glitch is a short- lived fault in a system. The term is particularly common in the computing and electronics industries, and in circuit bending, as well as among players of video games, although it is applied to all types of systems including human organizations and nature. The term derives from the German glitschig, meaning 'slippery', possible entering English through the Yiddish term glitsh. Normally, a glitch occurs once, but can also occur multiple times in a particular software.« no more to add here...
