n. [ITS] 1. A derogatory play on Unix wizard , common among hackers who use
|
|
|
|
|
Unix by necessity but would prefer alternatives. The implication is that
|
|
|
|
|
although the person in question may consider mastery of Unix arcana to be a
|
|
|
|
|
wizardly skill, the only real skill involved is the ability to tolerate (and
|
|
|
|
|
the bad taste to wallow in) the incoherence and needless complexity that is
|
|
|
|
|
alleged to infest many Unix programs. This shell script tries to parse its
|
|
|
|
|
arguments in 69 bletcherous ways. It must have been written by a real Unix
|
|
|
|
|
weenie. 2. A derogatory term for anyone who engages in uncritical praise of
|
|
|
|
|
Unix. Often appearing in the context stupid Unix weenie. See Weenix , Unix
|
|
|
|
|
conspiracy. See also weenie.
