Troll-O-Meter: n. Common Usenet jargon for a notional
instrument used to measure the quality of a Usenet troll. "Come
on, everyone! If the above doesn't set off the Troll-O-Meter, we're
going to have to get him to run around with a big blinking sign
saying `I am a troll, I'm only in it for the controversy and flames'
and shooting random gobs of Jell-O(tm) at us before the point is
proven." Mentions of the Troll-O-Meter are often accompanied by an
ASCII picture of an arrow pointing at a numeric scale. Compare
bogometer.
