     /gor'ets/ The unknown ur-noun, fill in your own meaning.
     Found especially on the Usenet newsgroup alt.gorets, which
     seems to be a running contest to redefine the word by
     implication in the funniest and most peculiar way, with the
     understanding that no definition is ever final.  [A
     correspondent from the Former Soviet Union informs me that
     "gorets" is Russian for "mountain dweller" - ESR] Compare
     frink.
