From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   smurf /smerf/ n.   [from the soc.motss newsgroup on Usenet,
   after some obnoxiously gooey cartoon characters] A newsgroup regular
   with a habitual style that is irreverent, silly, and cute.   Like
   many other hackish terms for people, this one may be praise or
   insult depending on who uses it.   In general, being referred to as a
   smurf is probably not going to make your day unless you've
   previously adopted the label yourself in a spirit of irony.   Compare
   {old fart}.
