ScnMaster
(slang) refers to the pc who has been s o poorly audited that "auditing" has created a charged-up condition on the case or the individual is so restimulated in his environment that the same condition occurs. In both cases the charge which has been restimulated causes the person to get wrapped up in his case, resulting in severe upset and dispersal. Taken from the US West where a tangled-up man in a confused condition was likened to a person, horse or cow who had run into a telegraph pole and gotten wrapped around it. It infers the situation or person needs to b e untangled and straightened out. —HSSC Glossary, Sept 90
