filk /filk/ n.,v.
[from SF fandom, where a typo for
`folk' was adopted as a new word] A popular or folk song with
lyrics revised or completely new lyrics and/or music, intended for
humorous effect when read, and/or to be sung late at night at SF
conventions. There is a flourishing subgenre of these called
`computer filks', written by hackers and often containing rather
sophisticated technical humor. See double bucky for an
example. Compare grilf, hing, pr0n, and
newsfroup.
