From the linked PDF, at http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/WG21/docs/papers/2009/n2911.pdf

The acronym SCARY describes assignments and initializations that are Seemingly erroneous (appearing Constrained by conflicting generic parameters), but Actually work with the Right implementation (unconstrained bY the conflict due to minimized dependencies).
