/saylskri`tr/ , n. Pejorative hackerism for a computer salesperson. Hackers
|
|
|
|
|
tell the following joke: Q.What'sthedifferencebetweenaused-cardealeranda
|
|
|
|
|
computersalesman? A.Theused-cardealerknowshe'slying.[Someversionsadd:
|
|
|
|
|
...andprobablyknowshowtodrive.] This reflects the widespread hacker belief
|
|
|
|
|
that salescritters are self-selected for stupidity (after all, if they had
|
|
|
|
|
brains and the inclination to use them, they'd be in programming). The terms
|
|
|
|
|
salesthing and salesdroid are also common. Compare marketroid , suit ,
|
|
|
|
|
droid.
