|
||
especially Chinese, and especially of the spicier varieties such as
|
||
Szechuan and Hunan. This phenomenon (which has also been observed in
|
||
subcultures that overlap heavily with hackerdom, most notably
|
||
science-fiction fandom) has never been satisfactorily explained, but is
|
||
sufficiently intense that one can assume the target of a hackish dinner
|
||
expedition to be the best local Chinese place and be right at least three
|
||
times out of four. See also <a href="../R/ravs.html"><i class="glossterm">ravs</i></a>,
