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).

(ITS) 1. A derogatory play on "Unix wizard",
common among hackers who use Unix by necessity but would
prefer alternatives. The implication is that although the
person in question may consider mastery of Unix arcana to be a
wizardly skill, the only real skill involved is the ability to
tolerate (and the bad taste to wallow in) the incoherence and
needless complexity that is alleged to infest many Unix
programs. "This shell script tries to parse its arguments in
69 bletcherous ways. It must have been written by a real Unix
weenie."
2. A derogatory term for anyone who engages in uncritical
praise of Unix. Often appearing in the context "stupid Unix
weenie".
See Weenix, Unix conspiracy, weenie.
