*** blammo
v. [Oxford Brookes University and alumni, UK] To forcibly remove someone from any interactive system, especially talker systems. The operators, who may remain hidden, may blammo a user who is misbehaving. Very similar to archaic MIT gun ; in fact, the blammo-gun is a notional device used to blammo someone. While in actual fact the only incarnation of the blammo-gun is the command used to forcibly eject a user, operators speak of different levels of blammo-gun fire; e.g., a blammo-gun to stun will temporarily remove someone, but a blammo-gun set to maim will stop someone coming back on for a while.
