DAU




/dow/ [German Fidonet] D"ummster Anzunehmender User.

A German acronym for stupidest imaginable user.

From the engineering-slang GAU for Gr"osster Anzunehmender Unfall (worst foreseeable accident), especially of a LNG tank farm plant or something with similarly disastrous consequences.

In popular German, GAU is used only to refer to worst-case nuclear accidents such as a core meltdown.

See cretin, loser and weasel.
