n. [prob.: from ad-agency tradetalk, house freak ] A hacker occupying a
technical-specialist, R D, or systems position at a commercial shop. A
really effective house wizard can have influence out of all proportion to
his/her ostensible rank and still not have to wear a suit. Used esp. of Unix
wizards. The term house guru is equivalent.
