[Georgia Tech] A "baggy pantsing" is
used to reprimand hackers who incautiously leave their terminals
unlocked. The affected user will come back to find a post from
them on internal newsgroups discussing exactly how baggy their
pants are, an accepted stand-in for "unattentive user who left
their work unprotected in the clusters". A properly-done baggy
pantsing is highly mocking and humorous (see examples below). It
is considered bad form to post a baggy pantsing to off-campus
newsgroups or the more technical, serious groups. A particularly
nice baggy pantsing may be "claimed" by immediately quoting the
message in full, followed by your sig; this has the added benefit
of keeping the embarassed victim from being able to delete the
post. Interesting baggy-pantsings have been done involving adding
commands to login scripts to repost the message every time the
unlucky user logs in; Unix boxes on the residential network, when
cracked, oftentimes have their homepages replaced (after being
politely backedup to another file) with a baggy-pants message;
.plan files are also occasionally targeted. Usage: "Prof. Greenlee
fell asleep in the Solaris cluster again; we baggy-pantsed him to
git.cc.class.2430.flame."
