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 {MUD}s
        where the wizard command "FOD " results in the
        immediate and total death of , 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.
