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 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.
