bigot n.
[common] A person who is religiously attached to a
particular computer, language, operating system, editor, or other
tool (see religious issues). Usually found with a specifier;
thus, `Cray bigot', `ITS bigot', `APL bigot', `VMS bigot',
`Berkeley bigot'. Real bigots can be distinguished from mere
partisans or zealots by the fact that they refuse to learn
alternatives even when the march of time and/or technology is
threatening to obsolete the favored tool. It is truly said "You
can tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much." Compare
weenie, Amiga Persecution Complex.
