From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [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!"
