I wish it was a joke, it's far funnier than the basic design crime. The users have a button on a homebrew app, and the button says "Blank Data". There is no documentation, natch, and the author is snowboarding.
What happens when you click? Is "blank" a noun, verb, adverb? Adjective? Acronym? Place bets now!
Ah, so what you'd like to know is "If you saw this button on an app, what would you expect it to do?"
[stares at the button]
I'm sorry -- no earthly idea. Looks like a placeholder that is meant to be populated by some query or other, but outside a context, I couldn't even guess.
