I'd like to see this entry remain. I was actually about to go write this article if it didn't exist. I see this term being used more and more often. -- Clayton O'Neill - 24.28.194.112 17:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I do claim to have coined the term, but I wouldn't mind if the article was deleted. It is a neologism (I started using it around 1997, vaguely inspired by a Ren and Stimpy rerun), and it does seem more like a dictionary entry (it is in Wiktionary and the Jargon File). The pointer to Jeremy Brown's GSB message from 2000 was the earliest public dissemination of the term, but it had been in limited use at the MIT AI Lab (not the Media Lab, as incorrectly mentioned in some references) for at least three years before then. I'm a Wikipedia newbie (and aware of the Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines), so I'll err on the side of not editing the article myself. Carlin 23:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
