FOD /fod/ v. [Abbreviation for `Finger of Death', originally a
spell-name from fantasy gaming] To terminate with extreme prejudice and
with no regard for other people. From {MUD}s where the wizard command
`FOD ' results in the immediate and total death of ,
usually as punishment for obnoxious behavior. This usage migrated to
other circumstances, such as "I'm going to fod the process that is
burning all the cycles." Compare {gun}.
In aviation, FOD means Foreign Object Damage, e.g., what happens when
a jet engine sucks up a rock on the runway or a bird in flight. Finger
of Death is a distressingly apt description of what this generally does
to the engine.
