I actually have a huge list of those. Among the better ones:


ECHERNOBYL Broken pipe
EFLAT      String out of range
EGAD       Surely you jest
EH         Canadian user error
EIEIO      Bug, bug here, bug bug there
ENIXON     Tape problem
ENODICE    Error in rand
EZ         Had been faster on paper
