stick man/woman

  • noun Someone who stands at a location adjacent to the swamp (normally the rapids) with a lit brand, repeatedly typing 'dr brand f player'. The idea is that when anyone passes through on auto-pilot, they will be given the brand and blow up upon their next move. The stick man or woman can then pick up the brands hatch and swamp it personally, although normally the sheer delight of causing someone to cop their clogs is sufficient reward. If a suspected stick man or woman is in the game, the correct course of action is to carry the maximum number of objects you can hold (so you can't be given anything else) and upon encountering the little rascal you push them zw. This way, they blow themselves up, to much merriment all round.
