Tennessee Elegy

noun, countable
used in Japanese BBSs to refer to a sad message which will be deleted by the poster to conceal his own jibaku; named after a JET from Tennessee, USA

Dai: Jibaku? Are you deleting all of your messages again? Yes or No?!
David: It's strange that the keyboard automatically and repeatedly types characters, "paranoia nutter looney."
Dai: Give your answer to the simple question.
David: The OS displays a Delete button and not Yes and No buttons in any dialogbox. Why does the mouse click on a Delete button automatically?
Dai: ... Tennessee Elegy. Dance a waltz!
