How can "cruft" be translated into Japanese?
英語意味：http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/C/cruft.html

One guess I had was 瓦落多 (がらくた) but I am not sure.

BTW, クラフツ is not what I want.

層垢?

er... make that 垢層

Funny. 垢層 is 「クソウ」.

Cruft is also used for any sort of junk, or something which is old and works strangely.

I have a directory called ''random-cruft'' where I keep text files with ethernet addresses, phone numbers, コピペ, quotes, scripts, five-line C programs, and other things that don't belong anywhere else. They would clutter up my home directory, but I want to keep them for some reason. So they are "cruft".

Seeing as how it's not even a real English word as such, translating is going to take a bit of luck or cleverness.

The etymology seems to point to it as a corruption of "crust", in which case "layers of dirt" would seem to work.

Best way might be to find an in-betweener and ask 2ch's hacker boards what they call bloat, leftover code & files, the crap that builds up on a frequently used Windows system and necessitates an OS reinstall every six months, etc. Could be something totally different.

垢層 is pretty good

Google gives 8 hits for 垢層 when searching Japanese only.

>>6の意味ならガラクタでいいんじゃないの？
瓦落多なんて書き方はしないけどな。

ガラクタは英語で「crap」とか「junk」と翻訳するもいいと思うか。

層 is a suffix. I guess it's not very commonly used in combination with 垢 but I don't think it's intrinsically incompatible.

俺すげーいい訳語思いついちゃった。
落書き帳、落書きノートっていいと思わん？
俺マジ天才だわ

多分すごくよくて、お前はてっきり天才だけど、「落書く」と意味は全然分からんよ。

落書きわかんねーかな。scribbleだよ。

読み型は「らくがき」だ。
