From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  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.
