(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)
