... what would it be?
I'm struggling, between "opinionated" and "challenging". And, BTW, the 'rules', (that I'm just making up, right now!), state that you can't have catch-all, generic words. Otherwise, I could have just gone with "annoying".
Note. I'm not planning on dying any time soon - but I know, from bitter experience, that you never can predict what life will throw at you. Every morning, when I wake up, I say to myself: "result".

In that case, whatever the opposite of "result" is....

By your rules, probably "Oops" or "Honorificabilitudinitatibus". I've long said what I actually want is "Sh** Happens"

Either AFK or BRB.

I'm not sure if acronyms is cheating, (and I made up the rules!), but I like these.

Well, German with its composite wordss would also be cheating then

As we can't have Try .. Catch according to your rules, it must be Finally

I have liked the "AFK" proposed above...
Some people I know would probably suggest "ENDLY" though 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Could you do us the favour of explaining why "annoying" is "generic", but "challenging" isn't? Struggling with the rules here but regardless, I do like "Finally" as proposed elsewhere. Accessible both to developers and the general public.

Yeah, it's a bit of a grey area, admittedly - but I'll give it a go:
- Someone can be "annoying" for any number of reasons - including being "opinionated" or "challenging".
- [I think], "challenging" describes a more specific type of characteristic - maybe!
To be honest, the fact that I consider the word "challenging" as an option for my gravestone, probably gives you the only clue you need to my approach to rules. Particularly when they've been made up, on the spot, by some lunatic posting random stuff on The Lounge!

Ah, the Amiga! I’m reasonably certain that when you formatted a disk on the Amiga that is what was written to disk in place of zeroes, though I maybe wrong

"Dead"
This resonates with me since this is pretty much how comments on my code are.
