weenie n. 1. [on BBSes] Any of a species of luser resembling a less
   amusing version of {B1FF} that infests many {BBS} systems. 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}, {geek}, {terminal junkie}, {warez
   d00dz}. 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. 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 0111011).
