flarp
/flarp/ [Rutgers University] Yet another metasyntactic variable (see foo). Among
those who use it, it is associated with a legend that any program not containing
the word "flarp" somewhere will not work. The legend is discreetly silent on the
reliability of programs which *do* contain the magic word.
