Last time I saw the word used on VfD, context
suggested that it was the
equivalent of "another article about a teenager whose most important
achievement so far is not dropping out of high school, which was posted
by her/his friend or relative."
Far too often I see it used to mean "it must not be important because I've
never heard of it."
(Not that I'm questioning in any way that almost everything that hits VFD
needs to be killed with a very big axe.)
