pr0n

( //)

   [Usenet,  IRC] Pornography. Originally this referred only to Internet
   porn  but since then it has expanded to refer to just about any kind.
   The  term  comes from the {warez kiddies} tendency to replace letters
   with  numbers.  At  some  point on IRC someone mistyped, swapping the
   middle  two  characters,  and the name stuck. It then propagated over
   into mainstream hacker usage. New versions of the Mozilla web browser
   internally  refer  to the image library as "libpr0n". Compare {filk},
   {grilf}, {hing} and {newsfroup}.
