If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'm looking for a cracking phrase for everything to do with the application except the application itself. So beyond the software development there is all the environment stuff, databases, connectivity, etc, etc, etc.
I need a short phrase to cover that. Any ideas?

Describing databases and external connectivity as rubbish does provide a clue to the poor performance of so many applications. Aren't they integral to the application?

When talking to management, I call it the Operating Environment.
With nerds, you can go with WSOGMM (Whole-Sort Of General Mis-Mash). Shout out to Douglas Adams.
If you're talking to marketers, call it the Mist (because it can be local, right?) and they'll go all gooey. Because they think it's a marketing term that refers to the Cloud.
When talking to techs, I use a different word. Notably: why isn't my %$&^ running on your #$&*!!!

"FrameWork," or, "Application Context"
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
