[What does it do?]

(1994-11-08)

A Company that Makes Everything (slang)

Acme: n. [from Greek akme highest point of
perfection or achievement] The canonical supplier of bizarre, elaborate,
and non-functional gadgetry — where Rube Goldberg and Heath Robinson
(two cartoonists who specialized in elaborate contraptions) shop. The name
has been humorously expanded as A (or American) Company Making Everything.
(In fact, Acme was a real brand sold from Sears Roebuck catalogs in the
early 1900s.) Describing some X as an “Acme X” either means
“This is insanely great”, or, more
likely, “This looks insanely great on paper,
but in practice it's really easy to shoot yourself in the foot with
it.” Compare pistol.
