tourist
From S23Wiki
 | This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for tourist - Next: tourist information, Prev: TOPS-20 |
| :tourist: /n./ [ITS] A guest on the system, especially one who generally logs in over a network from a remote location for comm mode, email, games, and other trivial purposes. One step below luser. Hackers often spell this turist, perhaps by some sort of tenuous analogy with luser (this also expresses the ITS cultures penchant for six-letterisms). Compare twink, read-only user. | |
