(From Zen Buddhist koans of the form "Does an X have the Buddha-nATure?") Common hacker construction for "is an X", used for humorous emphasis. "Anyone who can' t even use a program with on-screen help embedded in it truly has the loser nATure!" See also {the X thAT can be Y is not the true X}. [Jargon File] (1995-01-11)
