  FOD
  
     /fod/ [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 MUDs
     where the wizard command "FOD <player>" results in the
     immediate and total death of <player>, usually as punishment
     for obnoxious behaviour.  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.
