  weenie
  
     1. [on BBSes] Any of a species of luser resembling a less
     amusing version of BIFF that infests many BBSes.  The
     typical 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, computer geek, terminal junkie.
  
     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 not it is applied by a person
     who considers him or herself to be the same sort of weenie.
     It 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, ";" (ASCII 59).
