For those not in-the-know:
BOFH = Bastard operator from hell.
PEBCAC = Problem exists between chair and computer.
LART = Loser attitude readjustment tools
STFUARTFM = Shut the f**k up and RTFM
and
P45 = Much more free time to play Oolite!

Close, but no cigar.
LART = Luser attitude readjustment tool

My other favorite ones are after fixing a luser's machine - 'It was an NPI error' or in some cases 'a PIW error'

NPI error = Not Plugged In
PIW error = Plugged In Wrong

And the SIO test and the SDAR fix, which was 98% effective.

SIO: Switch it on
SDAR: Shut Down And Restart

Also, remember to instruct lusers to remove all wires, blow off any dust and plug ’em back in.
