WIMP
Short for Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointing device, the type of user interface made famous by the Macintosh computer and later imitated by the Windows operating systems. Most people now use the term GUI (graphical user interface) to refer to this type of interface, but it's important to note that when the first GUIs were invented in the 1970s, WIMP was just one possible variation. In those days, it was called a WIMP GUI.

Wimp
Wimp may refer to:
- A physical or emotional weakling. This informal term was the inspiration for the radio character Wallace Wimple (of the Fibber McGee and Molly show) and the phrase Mush from the Wimp. It is not, however, believed to have been the source for the name Wimpy, the Popeye character.
- Saint Veep, a Cornish saint
