BUAF
// , n. [abbreviation, from alt.fan.warlord] Big Ugly ASCII Font a special
form of ASCII art. Various programs exist for rendering text strings into
block, bloob, and pseudo-script fonts in cells between four and six
character cells on a side; this is smaller than the letters generated by
older banner (sense 2) programs. These are sometimes used to render one's
name in a sig block, and are critically referred to as BUAF s. See
warlording.
