Anoraks, wasRE: More fighters + (real) Java Space Dock!

> OK, I've been wondering this. What does "anorak" mean in

An anorak is indeed a bit like a parka, both being Inuit words. They are both
extremely "uncool" items of clothing, and tend to be worn by sad, friendless
persons whose mums buy all their clothes. The word has thus been given a
second meaning, "archetypal dull harmless social misfit". This
usage is fairly interchangeable with "Train-spotter" and its contraction
"spod" as terms of contempt. The term conjures up an image of a trainspotter
wearing an anorak zipped up all the way to the neck,
too-tight
stained corduroy trousers of the wrong length, plastic brogue shoes and the
lower edge of a pullover of hideous pattern knitted by a mad aunt in Bletchley
visible below the lower edge of the anorak. This is fortunate, as
the Spod has invariably pulled his perforated ochre Y-fronts up so high
that
there would otherwise be a distressing 4-inch cordon of underwear on
display
above the waist-band.  His pebble-thick spectacles have broken National
Health Service frames "temporarily" repaired for the last 10 years with grubby
Elastoplast. His bicycle clips are never removed voluntarily, and a strange
odour of cheese seems to emanate from his vicinity. He spends all his time on
hobbies which are pursued with a fanaticism proportional to their lack of
importance. There are females of the species, but they are rarely seen out of
doors.

Hope this helps!
