n. Used by hackers, this is syn. with geek. Non-hackers sometimes use it to
|
|
|
|
|
describe all techies. Prob. derives from SF fandom's tradition (originally
|
|
|
|
|
invented by old-time fan Ray Faraday Nelson) of propeller beanies as fannish
|
|
|
|
|
insignia (though nobody actually wears them except as a joke).
