That would be "Tofu"... The Question was about TOFU, though ;-)

It's a combined acronym/pun for "TextObenFullquoteUnten", meaning the
kind of posting that e.g. OE produces by standard... two lines like:

AOL!!!1
SenD PiX!!!1

and then about 326.43 lines of unneccesary quotation, including .sig...

Although... I've heard rumours that sometimes there is some useful
content in Posts of this format... Hmmm... Can't tell cause I filter
'em if more than 3/4 of the posting are quoted... ;->
