Sorry, but I agree with Josh B. on this. I've only ever heard it used in
one way, and it is simply a poor choice of terms. Why not just say "we need
volunteers to help run the booth"? There may be a way to stretch and say
we're using it ironically (and insinuating that we're ugly but knowledgable?),
but at the end of the day, it does nobody any good to use the term.
