Quirk objection
 interj.

   [Named for Captain Gym Z. Quirk, the first to raise it.] "Objection!
   Assumes organ not in evidence!" Used in news.admin.net-abuse.email to
   point out that a comment assumes the presence of something whose
   existence has not been proven, such as a spammer's brain or gonads.
   This is not used to refer to things that are definitely proven not to
   exist, such as a spammer's ethics. It's applicable to enough postings
   there that a poster wishing to raise the objection often need merely
   say "ObQuirk!", an instance of the {Ob-} convention.
