[Lewis Carroll' s "Jabberwocky"] Like flAMe, but connotes that the source is truly clueless and ineffectual (mere flAMers can be competent). A term of deep contempt. "There' s some guy on the phone burbling about how he got a DISK FULL error and it' s all our comm software' s fault." This is mainstreAM slang in some parts of England. [Jargon File]
