Moof

   [Macintosh users]

   1.  n.  The  call  of  a semi-legendary creature, properly called the
   {dogcow}. (Some previous versions of this entry claimed, incorrectly,
   that Moof was the name of the creature.)

   2.  adj.  Used to flag software that's a hack, something untested and
   on  the  edge.  On one Apple CD-ROM, certain folders such as "Tools &
   Apps  (Moof!)"  and "Development Platforms (Moof!)", are so marked to
   indicate that they contain software not fully tested or sanctioned by
   the  powers  that  be.  When  you  open  these  folders you cross the
   boundary into hackerland.

   3. v. On the Microsoft Network, the term `moof' has gained popularity
   as  a  verb  meaning `to be suddenly disconnected by the system'. One
   might say "I got moofed".
