I'll second that! Interestingly enough 'drot' is, as I'm sure Tyler is only too aware being from that neck of the woods, a US variant of 'drat' which according to the OED is "a form of imprecation giving vent to annoyance or angry vexation"
Drat is also the obsolete 3rd person singular of the verb 'to dread'
Both of which are rather apt I feel........ ;)

Back in my day, a 'Drott' was used to refer to a discussion thread that
should have died several posts back...
