Cool Jargon of the Day

Serving Hacker Jargon to the Internet since Jan 1995.

poser /n./ A wannabee; not hacker slang, but used among crackers, phreaks and warez d00dz. Not as negative as lamer or leech. Probably derives from a similar usage among punk-rockers and metalheads, putting down those who "talk the talk but don't walk the walk".

Cool Jargon changes every 00:00 GMT. Please come back often.
