cliffy
- noun A rather old term which deserves to be brought back
to the forefront of MUDspeke: a cliffy is a fact you tell a
clueless newbie to stop them from pestering you for information
(or, alternatively, as a joke). It can range from merely
sending them on a wild goose chase ("Well where do you _think_
you'd find a gold club?") to the downright evil ("You use the
<whatever they just asked about> to jump off the cliff" - this
is the example which gave rise to the term). See scam, rumour,
wind-up, fob.
