It's been driving me nuts, so I finally looked up what "fnord" means and here's what I found:

1. (convention) fnord - A word used in electronic mail and news messages to tag utterances as surrealist mind-play or humour, especially in connection with Discordianism and elaborate conspiracy theories. "I heard that David Koresh is sharing an apartment in Argentina with Hitler. (Fnord.)" "Where can I fnord get the Principia Discordia from?"
2. (programming) fnord - A metasyntactic variable, commonly used by hackers with ties to Discordianism or the Church of the SubGenius.


I still have no clue what it means.
