STR Spot the reference. Used in
scary devil monastery to mark the witticism one just uttered as a quote
from some work of art or literature, the more obscure the better. Those who
know where the reference comes from reply in the form “You are
$CHARACTER, and you owe me $ITEM”, where $CHARACTER is a character
from the story being referenced and $ITEM is something associated with that
character. This acronym is never actually expanded to its proper meaning in
the newsgroup; posters instead use obscure expansions, the most common
being “slurp the robot”, leading to comments like “I
pulled my hair out, but couldn't figure out which robot you're
slurping”.
