smurf
<jargon> /smerf/ (From the soc.motss Usenet newsgroup, after some
obnoxiously gooey cartoon characters) A newsgroup regular with a habitual style
that is irreverent, silly, and cute. Like many other hackish terms for people,
this one may be praise or insult depending on who uses it. In general, being
referred to as a smurf is probably not going to make your day unless you've
previously adopted the label yourself in a spirit of irony.
Compare old fart.
