A construction popularized among hackers by the infamous
CPU Wars comic; supposedly derived from a famously
turgid line in a WWII-era anti-Nazi propaganda comic that ran Eat
flaming death, non-Aryan mongrels!
or something of the sort
(however, it is also reported that on the Firesign Theatre's 1975 album
In The Next World, You're On Your Own a character
won the right to scream Eat flaming death, fascist media
pigs
in the middle of Oscar night on a game show; this may have
been an influence). Used in humorously overblown expressions of
hostility. Eat flaming death, EBCDIC
users!
IPM tells us to eat flaming death.
