fool file

n. [Usenet] A notional repository of all the most dramatically and abysmally
stupid utterances ever. An entire subgenre of sig blocks consists of the
header From the fool file: followed by some quote the poster wishes to
represent as an immortal gem of dimwittery; for this usage to be really
effective, the quote has to be so obviously wrong as to be laughable. More
than one Usenetter has achieved an unwanted notoriety by being quoted in
this way.
