Paper cut bug
In software usability, a paper cut is a trivial, fixable coding bug that the average user may encounter. A bug is easy to fix if it can be fixed by one person in one day.
Paper cut bugs are usually low priority for developers, but shouldn’t be disregarded. Following the analogy of a paper cut wound, these bugs are not damaging to the system as a whole, but can be surprisingly painful and cause users to “bleed out” with annoyance over time, resulting in a loss of interest.
