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

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!

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

I would go for either:
"BUGGER"
or "HELP!"

My favourites so far.

"Bugger" would be my choice too...

"Resting" or "Done".
But I too like Finally
