	Slang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slang is the use of highly informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker's dialect or language.
		Slang terms are frequently particular to a certain subculture, such as musicians, skateboarders, and members of a minority.
		Slang is to be distinguished from jargon, the technical vocabulary of a particular profession, as the association of informality is not present.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Because hackers as a group are particularly creative people who define themselves partly by rejection of `normal' values and working habits, it has unusually rich and conscious traditions for an intentional culture less than 40 years old.
		Hacker slang is unusually rich in implications of this kind, of overtones and undertones that illuminate the hackish psyche.
		Hackers, as a rule, love wordplay and are very conscious and inventive in their use of language.

		When two or more hackers have the same handle and it is in dispute as to who had it first or who deserves it is used to differentiate, or at least it was in the 1980s.
		Disliked by many in the electronic underground because of his constant fl-or-white approach to computer ethics, painting hackers as totally evil and him as totally good, ignoring the fact that some of his methods are close to being as illegal as those of the hackers he tracks.
		Not to be confused with with the Arizona hacker.

	Jargon - About This File
		Because hackers as a group are particularly creative people who define themselves partly by rejection of `normal' values and working habits, it has unusually rich and conscious traditions for an intentional culture less than 35 years old.
		As usual with slang, the special vocabulary of hackers helps hold their culture together --- it helps hackers recognize each other's places in the community and expresses shared values and experiences.
		The intensity and consciousness of hackish invention make a compilation of hacker slang a particularly effective window into the surrounding culture --- and, in fact, this one is the latest version of an evolving compilation called the `Jargon File', maintained by hackers themselves for over 15 years.

	[No title]
		Hackers in Western Europe and (especially) Scandinavia are reported to often use a mixture of English and their native languages for technical conversation.
		Hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that, technically, it is precisely what one might expect given that kind of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee, crockish, difficult to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle (one common description is "The PL/I of the 1980s").
		Hackers tend not to think of the things they themselves run as apps; thus, in hacker parlance the term excludes compilers, program editors, games, and messaging systems, though a user would consider all those to be apps.

	Info: (jarg400.info) Introduction
		Though some technical material is included for background and flavor, it is not a technical dictionary; what we describe here is the language hackers use among themselves for fun, social communication, and technical debate.
		The `hacker culture' is actually a loosely networked collection of subcultures that is nevertheless conscious of some important shared experiences, shared roots, and shared values.
		Among hackers, though, slang has a subtler aspect, paralleled perhaps in the slang of jazz musicians and some kinds of fine artists but hard to detect in most technical or scientific cultures; parts of it are code for shared states of consciousness.

		The Hacker Jargon File is an online "collection of slang terms used by various subcultures of computer hackers… [or] the language hackers use among themselves for fun, social communication, and technical debate… The Jargon File is a common heritage of the hacker culture.
		Hacker slang is, therefore, only hacker slang when it can be demonstrated to make sense to multiple people in the (existing, historical) hacker community.
		Here, I can read that hacker jargon is meant to be shared with other (potential) hackers, in an explicit effort to acculturate/recruit new members of the larger community and to maintain existing terminology and cultural history.

	The New Hacker's Dictionary, version 4.1.4, 17 June 1999
		Another hacker habit is a tendency to distinguish between `scare' quotes and `speech' quotes; that is, to use British-style single quotes for marking and reserve American-style double quotes for actual reports of speech or text included from elsewhere.
		It is clear that, for many hackers, the case of such identifiers becomes a part of their internal representation (the `spelling') and cannot be overridden without mental effort (an appropriate reflex because Unix and C both distinguish cases and confusing them can lead to lossage).
		Hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that, technically, it is precisely what one might expect given that kind of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee, crockish, difficult to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle (one common description wss "The PL/I of the 1980s").

	Jargon File - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Jargon File was a collection of hacker slang from technical cultures including the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI Lab (SAIL), and others of the old ARPANET AI/LISP/PDP-10 communities including Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN), Carnegie Mellon University, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
		Even as the advent of the microcomputer and other trends fueled a tremendous expansion of hackerdom, the File (and related materials such as the AI Koans in Appendix A) came to be seen as a sort of sacred epic, a hacker-culture Matter of Britain chronicling the heroic exploits of the Knights of the Lab.
		Many hackers have become dissatisfied by his centralized control over submissions to the File, the allegedly questionable additions and edits he has made, and the removal of certain terms on the grounds of being dated (unusual in historical dictionary projects).

	BlackChampagne.com -- Internet Slang
		Slang isn't always designed for time saving though, much of the time it evolves organically, and new slang terms come about to describe new paradigms, new ideas or concepts that require a specific term for them, a word or two that can be used to express a larger concept in capsule form.
		This differs from Hacker Speak in that it's vastly overused, and often includes pointless substitutions, such as zero for "o", or "1" for "l", changes that can't even be discerned in some fonts.
		Hacker Speak can be used by decent writers, and throwing in term or two here or there can add amusing emphasis.

	THIS IS THE JARGON FILE, VERSION 3.0.0, 27 JUL 1993
		Linguists usually refer to informal language as `slang' and reserve the term `jargon' for the technical vocabularies of various occupations.
		The original Jargon File was a collection of hacker jargon from technical cultures including the MIT AI Lab, the Stanford AI lab (SAIL), and others of the old ARPANET AI/LISP/PDP-10 communities including Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN), Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU), and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
		Some hackers cheerfully reverse this transformation; they argue, for example, that the horizontal degree lines on a globe ought to be called `lats' --- after all, they're measuring latitude!
