"Boojum: Term used to describe the total annihilation of a 
word/line/character/subplot/book/series. Complete and irreversible, the
nature of a boojum is still the subject of some heated speculation. Some 
past members of Jurisfiction theorise that a Boojum might be a gateway to
an 'anti-library' somewhere beyond the 'imagination horizon'. It is
possible that the semi-mythical Snark may hold the key to decipher what
is, at present, a mystery."
