[from the Usenet group alt.fan.warlord]
The act of excoriating a bloated, ugly, or derivative sig block. Common grounds for warlor
signature rendered in a BUAF, over-used or cliched sig quotes, u
original `Warlord' was a B1FF-like newbie c.1991 who
featured in his sig a particularly large and obnoxious ASCII
graphic resembling the sword of Conan the Barbarian in the 1981
John Milius movie; the group name alt.fan.warlord was sarcasm,
and the characteristic mode of warlording is devastatingly
sarcastic praise.
ig block: /sig blok/ [UNIX; often written `.sig' there] n.
Short for `signature', used specifically to refer to the
electronic signature block that most UNIX mail- and news-posting
software will {automagically} append to outgoing mail and news....
