simple way of noting that a node has been c!ed, but not voted up past zero. one would suppose this to be similar to a negative cool.

apparently this is also the name of a character in the movie hackers, but i wouldn't know because i didn't see that movie five or six times because i wanted to believe that all smart ass computer geek boys wore tight clothes and had cool hair. so i am really in no position to confirm or deny this rumor.
