One the Sad Puppies was referring to someone as a CHORF. There was no explanation on the page, so I googled for the meaning.
Apparently for the Sad Puppies it means cliquish, holier than thou obnoxious reactionary fanatic. Brad Torgersen coined it to describe non-Puppies. I will leave that irony there for the enjoyment of the reader.
I guess he, and the people who picked it up from him, didn't even bother to check if that acronym was used for anything else first. To find the Sad Puppy meaning, I had to restrict the Google search to the past week. The older, and more widely-used meaning is "Christ on a rabbit farm!" Which is beautifully appropriate.
So when you see someone using it in the Sad Puppy manner, you can say "Chorf! They don't even know how to use Google!"
