cursor dipped in x
(foldoc) | cursor dipped in X
The metaphorical source of the electronic equivalent
of a poisoned-pen letter. Derived from English metaphors of
the form "pen dipped in X" (where X = e.g. "acid", "bile",
"vitriol"). These map over neatly to this hackish usage (the
cursor being what moves, leaving letters behind, when one is
composing on-line).
"Talk about a nastygram! He must've had his cursor dipped
in acid when he wrote that one!"
