gorets
/gor'ets/, n.
The unknown ur-noun, fill in your own meaning. Found esp. on the
Usenet newsgroup alt.gorets, which seems to be a running contest to
redefine the word by implication in the funniest and most peculiar
way, with the understanding that no definition is ever final. [A
correspondent from the former Soviet Union informs me that gorets is
Russian for `mountain dweller'. Another from France informs me that
goret is archaic French for a young pig --ESR] Compare {frink}.
