asbestos cork award: n. Once, long ago at MIT, there was a flamer so
consistently obnoxious that another hacker designed, had made, and
distributed posters announcing that said flamer had been nominated for the
asbestos cork award. (Any reader in
doubt as to the intended application of the cork should consult the
etymology under flame.) Since then, it is agreed
that only a select few have risen to the heights of bombast required to
earn this dubious dignity — but there is no agreement on
which few.
