[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]
