When netlag gets really bad, and delays between servers exceed a certain threshhold, the {IRC} network effectively becomes partitioned for a period of time, and large numbers of people seem to be signing off at the same time and then signing back on again when things get better. An instance of this is called a 'netburp' (or sometimes, netsplit).
This describes a man who likes wearing women's underwear, namely thongs. The fabric splits the nuts, each testicle hanging down the sides of the thong.
That man sure has a hellva nutsplitter! That pair of panties is probably choking his balls with that nutsplitter.
