  Cancelpoodle
       
           (Or Cancelbunny) A manifestation of the
          {Cancelmoose} in the form of a more selective (and probably
          not automated) way to cancel {Usenet} articles.
       


          The term became common during the alt.religion.scientology
          wars of the mid-90s, during which Cancelpoodles were used.
          The "poodle" part is an allusion to one of the parties
          obliquely involved in the fray, who an earlier well-known
          witticism had compared to "a psychotic poodle".
