tree-killer: n. [Sun] 1. A printer. 2. A person who wastes
paper. This epithet should be interpreted in a broad sense;
`wasting paper' includes the production of spiffy but
content-free documents. Thus, most suits are tree-killers. The
negative loading of this term may reflect the epithet `tree-killer'
applied by Treebeard the Ent to the Orcs in J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord
of the Rings" (see also elvish, elder days).
