munchkin /muhnch'kin/ /n./ [from the squeaky-voiced little
people in L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz"] A
teenage-or-younger micro enthusiast hacking BASIC or something else
equally constricted. A term of mild derision -- munchkins are
annoying but some grow up to be hackers after passing through a
larval stage. The term urchin is also used. See also
wannabee, bitty box.
