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, semiautomatic
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!"
