spod (Great Britain) A lower form of life found on {chat}
systems and {MUDs}. The spod has few friends in {RL} and uses
chat instead, finding communication easier and preferable over
the {net}. He has all the negative traits of the {computer
geek} without having any interest in computers per se.
Lacking any knowledge of, or interest in, how networks work,
and considering his access a God-given right, he is a major
irritant to {sysadmins}, clogging up lines in order to reach
new {MUDs}, following passed-on instructions on how to sneak
his way onto {Internet} ("Wow! It's in America!") and
complaining when he is not allowed to use busy routes. A true
spod will start any conversation with "Are you male or
female?" (and follow it up with "Got any good
numbers/IDs/passwords?") and will not talk to someone
physically present in the same terminal room until they log
onto the same computer that he is using and enter {chat}.
Compare {newbie}, {tourist}, {weenie}, {twink}, {terminal
junkie}, {dweeb}.
