Argicize (AR-gih-size), vt. To post nonsense repeatedly without significant change, especially to a wide spectrum of unrelated newsgroups and/or threads, as in "all the articles you argicized" (snowhare@netcom.com) [1].

Etymology: derived from the name of Serdar Argic, a roboposter well-known for posting essentially identical articles in mass quantities all over Usenet during the period 1991-4. Synonyms: serdarize, brynerize, spam. Antonym: retromoderate.

See also "crosspost to hell and back," "off-charter," "robopost," "-bot."
