:
bigot n. [common] A person who is religiously attached to a particular
computer, language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see
religious issues). Usually found with a specifier; thus, `Cray bigot',
`ITS bigot', `APL bigot', `VMS bigot', `Berkeley bigot'. Real bigots can
be distinguished from mere partisans or zealots by the fact that they
refuse to learn alternatives even when the march of time and/or
technology is threatening to obsolete the favored tool. It is truly said
"You can tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much." Compare weenie,
Amiga Persecution Complex.
