/oops

Seems ambiguous to me. It has only been used for one question referring to tainted kernels. /oops could also be construed to mean object-oriented programming languages.

In the first case, /oops is simply a /kernel-panic and in the second, /oops would be less ambiguous as /oo-programming or /object-oriented-language (not pretty, I know).

A kernel oops is not necessarily a kernel panic. Seems like would resolve the ambiguity you're concerned about — although I'm skeptical that people would jump to "object-oriented programming languages" (Because: what's Object Oriented Programmings supposed to mean?)

Maybe someone might use it for rm -rf /.....

I didn't know what a kernel oops was, and when I saw the tag I figured it could be an acronym for object-oriented programming languages. The rm -rf / reason is definitely a possibility too. – MaxMackie Dec 15 '11 at 13:43

Turns out there was just the one question using it. I retagged it kernel-oops and there ya go. – mattdm♦ Dec 15 '11 at 13:46
