ploddle's blue lighters

a kenning (a compound expression in poetry with metaphorical meaning) for a 'matrix on attack mode'; when ploddle's lighter glitches and clones itself it means the matrix is on attack mode, lighters are probably the glitchiest item in the matrix when it's on attack mode, second only to keys.
