cattle prod

The iconic weapon of a BOFH. Often modified with additional voltage and/or amperage for greater effect. Most often used against particuarly annoying users alongside a roll of carpet, shovel, and bag of lime.

When the effect is written, it is always spelled as KZZZZEEEEEERRRRRTTT. The number of repititions of each letter can vary and the R/T can be left off to imply continued usage.

When I was confronted by the head Beancounter, I gave him a zap with my trusty overvoltage cattle prod and called my PFY to get the company van and the usual supplies.
