weenie n. 1. [on BBSes] Any of a species of luser resembling a less

weenie is a teenage boy with poor social skills travelling under a
grandiose handle derived from fantasy or heavy-metal rock lyrics.
Among sysops, `the weenie problem' refers to the marginally literate and
profanity-laden flamage weenies tend to spew all over a
newly-discovered BBS. Compare spod, geek, terminal junkie, warez d00dz. 2. [Among hackers] When used with a qualifier (for example, as
in Unix weenie, VMS weenie, IBM weenie) this can be either an insult
or a term of praise, depending on context, tone of voice, and whether or

same sort of weenie. Implies that the weenie has put a major investment
of time, effort, and concentration into the area indicated; whether this
is good or bad depends on the hearer's judgment of how the speaker feels
about that area. See also bigot. 3. The semicolon character, `;'
