 tar'djee, n.

   [deliberate mangling of tragedy] An incident in which someone who
   clearly deserves to be selected out of the gene pool on grounds of
   extreme stupidity meets with a messy end. Coined on the Darwin list,
   which is dedicated to chronicling such incidents; but almost all
   hackers would instantly recognize the intention of the term and laugh.
