n. [Usenet] n. fortuitous typo for co-worker, widely used in Usenet, with
perhaps a hint that orking cows is illegal. This term was popularized by
Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert ) but already appears in the January
1996 version of the scary devil monastery FAQ, and has been traced back to a
1989 sig block. Compare hing , grilf , filk , newsfroup.
