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.
