  From  Jargon  File  (4.2.3,  23  NOV  2000)  [jargon]: 
 
  BOFH  //  n.  [common]  Acronym,  Bastard  Operator  From  Hell.  A 
  system  administrator  with  absolutely  no  tolerance  for  {luser}s.  "You  say 
  you  need  more  filespace?    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  (http://bofh.ntk.net/Bastard.html).  BOFHs  and  BOFH 
  wannabes  hang  out  on  {scary  devil  monastery}  and  wield  {LART}s.
