LART: //

  Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool.

  1. n. In the collective mythos of scary devil monastery, this is an essential item in the toolkit of every BOFH. The LART classic is a 2x4 or other large billet of wood usable as a club, to be applied upside the head of spammers and other people who cause sysadmins more grief than just naturally goes with the job. Perennial debates rage on `alt.sysadmin.recovery` over what constitutes the truly effective LART; knobkerries, automatic weapons, flamethrowers, and tactical nukes all have their partisans. Compare clue-by-four.

  2. v. To use a LART. Some would add “in malice”, but some sysadmins do prefer to gently lart their users as a first (and sometimes final) warning.

  3. interj. Calling for one's LART, much as a surgeon might call “Scalpel!”.

  4. interj. [rare] Used in flames as a rebuke. “LART! LART! LART!”
