    Not lying when I say that I have no idea what the asterisked word is, and I've been working in IT for 15 years.

    I'm a bit surprised the IT types here didn't get the reference to the BOFH.

    B*****d Operator From TeXas. (Huskee gets an honorable mention, though. )

    How about a sticky post where common abbreviations can be posted as a reference?
