  talk bomb
  
     1. <chat> A program which allows one to flood another Unix
     user's terminal with garbage, through exploiting a common
     security hole in the victim's host's talk daemon.  Users
     with "messages off" (mesg n) and users on systems running
     fixed talk daemons, or not running talk daemons at all, are
     immune.
