The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):
Objectionable-C
n.
Hackish take on ?Objective-C?, the name of an object-oriented dialect of C
in competition with the better-known C++ (it is used to write native
applications on the NeXT machine). Objectionable-C uses a Smalltalk-like
syntax, but lacks the flexibility of Smalltalk method calls, and (like many
such efforts) comes frustratingly close to attaining the Right Thing
without actually doing so.
