email, games, and other trivial purposes. One step below

<a href="../L/luser.html"><i class="glossterm">luser</i></a> (this usage may also have expressed the ITS

culture's penchant for six-letterisms, and/or been some sort of tribute to

Alan Turing). Compare <a href="twink.html"><i class="glossterm">twink</i></a>,
