courier

[BBS & cracker cultures] A person who distributes newly

cracked warez, as opposed to a server who makes them available for

download or a leech who merely

downloads them. Hackers recognize this term but don't use it

themselves, as the act is not part of their culture. See also

warez d00dz, cracker, elite.

=

cow orker n.

[Usenet] n. fortuitous typo for co-worker, widely used in

Usenet, with perhaps a hint that orking cows is illegal. This

term was popularized by Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert) but already appears in the January

1996 version of the scary

devil monastery FAQ. There are plausible reports that it

was in use on _talk.bizarre_ as early as 1992. Compare hing, grilf,

filk, newsfroup.
