   Spot the reference. Used in {scary devil monastery} to mark the
   witticism one just uttered as a quote from some work of art or
   literature, the more obscure the better. Those who know where the
   reference comes from reply in the form "You are $CHARACTER, and you
   owe me $ITEM", where $CHARACTER is a character from the story being
   referenced and $ITEM is something associated with that character. This
   acronym is never actually expanded to its proper meaning in the
   newsgroup; posters instead use obscure expansions, the most common
   being "slurp the robot", leading to comments like "I pulled my hair
   out, but couldn't figure out which robot you're slurping".
