2 definitions found From Jargon File (4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000) [jargon]: 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!" From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]: LART {Luser Attitude Re-adjustment Tool}
