|
||
someone from any interactive system, especially talker systems. The
|
||
operators, who may remain hidden, may “<span class="quote">blammo</span>” a user who is
|
||
misbehaving. Very similar to archaic MIT <span class="firstterm">gun</span>; in fact, the <span class="firstterm">blammo-gun</span> is a notional device used to
|
||
“<span class="quote">blammo</span>” 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.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="Black-Screen-of-Death.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../B.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="blargh.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Black Screen of Death </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> blargh</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
