LART // 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 {flame}s as
a rebuke. "LART! LART! LART!"
