  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.
