The Jargon File comes in handy agian
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 flames as a rebuke. "LART! LART! LART!"
