nut loose on keyboard
<humour>
A humerous diagnosis of a reported problem with a computer, that, like PEBCAK, while phrased in terms of keyboard hardware, actually blames the user.
A "nut" or "nutcase" is English slang for a mad person and "to let someone loose on something" means to give them uncontrolled access, with the suggestion that they may not be ready. The expression is a play on the word "nut", as in nut and bolt, which might be found in a keyboard and, if loose, might cause problems. The Register.Last updated: 2023-03-26
