Moof: /moof/ [Macintosh users] 1. n. The call of a
semi-legendary creature, properly called the dogcow. (Some
previous versions of this entry claimed, incorrectly, that Moof was
the name of the _creature_.) 2. adj. Used to flag software that's a
hack, something untested and on the edge. On one Apple CD-ROM,
certain folders such as "Tools & Apps (Moof!)" and "Development
Platforms (Moof!)", are so marked to indicate that they contain
software not fully tested or sanctioned by the powers that be. When
you open these folders you cross the boundary into hackerland. 3.
v. On the Microsoft Network, the term `moof' has gained popularity
as a verb meaning `to be suddenly disconnected by the system'. One
might say "I got moofed".
