GFR: /G-F-R/ vt. [ITS: from `Grim File Reaper', an ITS and LISP
Machine utility] To remove a file or files according to some
program-automated or semi-automatic manual procedure, especially one
designed to reclaim mass storage space or reduce name-space clutter
(the original GFR actually moved files to tape). Often generalized
to pieces of data below file level. "I used to have his phone
number, but I guess I GFRed it." See also prowler, reaper.
Compare GC, which discards only provably worthless stuff.
