Hacker-standard way of suggesting that the person to whom it is directed has succumbed to terminal geekdom (see computer geek ). Often heard on Usenet , esp. as a way of suggesting that the target is taking some obscure issue of theology too seriously.

It was certainly in wide use among hackers for at least five years before achieving mainstream currency in early 1992.
