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, automatic 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!"
