troglodyte

From S23Wiki

This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for troglodyte - Next: troglodyte mode, Prev: troff
:troglodyte: /n./ [Commodore] 1. A hacker who never leaves his cubicle. The term Gnoll (from Dungeons & Dragons) is also reported. 2. A curmudgeon attached to an obsolescent computing environment. The combination ITS troglodyte was flung around some during the Usenet and email wringle-wrangle attending the 2.x.x revision of the Jargon File; at least one of the people it was intended to describe adopted it with pride.
