Originally this referred only to
|
|||
|
|
Internet porn but since then it has expanded to refer to just about any
|
|||
|
|
kind. The term comes from the <a href="../W/warez-kiddies.html"><i class="glossterm">warez kiddies</i></a>
|
|||
|
|
tendency to replace letters with numbers. At some point on IRC someone
|
|||
|
|
mistyped, swapping the middle two characters, and the name stuck. It then
|
|||
|
|
propagated over into mainstream hacker usage. New versions of the Mozilla
|
|||
|
|
web browser internally refer to the image library as
|
|||
|
|
“<span class="quote">libpr0n</span>”. Compare <a href="../F/filk.html"><i class="glossterm">filk</i></a>,
