It's one of my nouvelle - vague Usenet "expressions"...and the spelling
*does* make some kind of sense, no...???

Others a

"hampster" for "hamster

"sleezy" for "sleazy"

"wierd" for "weird"

"Brab" for "Barb" (she's a regular on *chi.general, it's a term of
endearment for her), etc....

I'll collate the others later...
