BOFH // n.
[common] Acronym, Bastard Operator From Hell. A system
administrator with absolutely no tolerance for lusers. "You say you need more filespace?
<massive-global-delete> Seems to me you have plenty
left..." Many BOFHs (and others who would be BOFHs if they could
get away with it) hang out in the newsgroup
_alt.sysadmin.recovery_, although there has also been
created a top-level newsgroup hierarchy (_bofh.*_) of their
own.
Several people have written stories about BOFHs. The set
usually considered canonical is by Simon Travaglia and may be
found at the Bastard
Home Page. BOFHs and BOFH wannabes hang out on scary devil monastery and
wield LARTs.
