pr0n //
[Usenet, IRC] Pornography. Originally this
referred only to Internet porn but since then it has expanded to
refer to just about anything. The term comes from the warez kiddies tendency to replace letters with numbers. At some point
on IRC someone mistyped, swapped the middle two letters, and the
name stuck, then propagated over into mainstream hacker
usage. Compare filk, grilf, hing and
newsfroup.
