fool file

( n.)

   [Usenet]  A  notional  repository  of  all  the most dramatically and
   abysmally  stupid utterances ever. An entire subgenre of {sig block}s
   consists  of  the header "From the fool file:" followed by some quote
   the  poster wishes to represent as an immortal gem of dimwittery; for
   this  usage  to be really effective, the quote has to be so obviously
   wrong  as  to  be  laughable. More than one Usenetter has achieved an
   unwanted notoriety by being quoted in this way.
