tree-killer
tree-killer
(jargon, abuse)2. A person who wastes paper. This epithet should beinterpreted in a broad sense; "wasting paper" includes theproduction of spiffy but content-free documents. Thus,most suits are tree-killers.
This term may derive from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings".in which Treebeard the Ent uses it to refer to the orcs'master, Saruman of Isengard. Saruman represents, among otherthings, technology at its most misguided.
