Check out the meaning and usage of such hacker vocab as bogosity, avatar, facetime, ping, lossage, grepping and bagbiter. Look for linguistic commentary on the construction of hacker jargon (methods include verb doubling, anthropomorphizing, reworking verbs as nouns and speaking inarticulations aloud.) Also read the anthropological commentary on the typical hacker's religion, mores, politics, personality and intellectual style. All textual, but full of funny anecdotes and history.
