An acconym used by Discowrld fans to commemorate people who have passed on. The origin is the novel Going Postal by Sir Terry Pratchett, in which semaphore operators send the names of their fallen comrades back and forth along the semaphore system, known as the clacks, with this code attached.
The code translates as follows:
G: General broadcast, send in all directions
N: Do not log the mmessage
U: Sent the message back when it reaches the end of the line
By sending the code and the name the operators are asking to keep the persons name cycling the system for ever. Similar to the notion that a person is never gone while others still speak their name.

Used in educational machinery guides, it allows the reader to concentrate on the content, rather than, for example, which pieces might dangle into the mechanism of a tea bagging machine, βwhen cleaning the machine of tea dust , the operative must make sure that all GNU dangling parts are tucked into a hair net, attention must be paid to GNU personal cleanliness at all timesβ.
One can safely point out an amusing person to ones chums and shout, βlook at the state of GNU!β Safe in the knowledge that no one will shout back, βIβm a man!β or, βI donβt identify as a woman!β.
