Gorets

2 definitions found

From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  gorets /gor'ets/ n. The unknown ur-noun, fill in your own meaning.
     Found esp. on the Usenet newsgroup alt.gorets, which seems to be a
     running contest to redefine the word by implication in the funniest and
     most peculiar way, with the understanding that no definition is ever
     final. [A correspondent from the former Soviet Union informs me that
     `gorets' is Russian for `mountain dweller'. Another from France informs


     me that `goret' is archaic French for a young pig --ESR] Compare
     {frink}.
