[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.
