netlag n.
[IRC, MUD] A condition that occurs when the delays in the
IRC network or on a MUD become severe enough that servers briefly lose
and then reestablish contact, causing messages to be delivered in
bursts, often with delays of up to a minute. (Note that this term
has nothing to do with mainstream "jet lag", a condition which
hackers tend not to be much bothered by.) Often shortened to just
`lag'.
