Definition of phase of the moon
phase of the moon
noun
- Used humorously as a random parameter on which something is said to depend. Sometimes implies unreliability of whatever is dependent, or that reliability seems to be dependent on conditions nobody has been able to determine. See also heisenbug.
This feature depends on having the channel open in mumble mode, having the foo switch set, and on the phase of the moon.
