weenie n.
2. [Among hackers] When used with a qualifier (for example, as in Unix
weenie, VMS weenie, IBM weenie) this can be either an insult or a term of
praise, depending on context, tone of voice, and whether or not it is
applied by a person who considers him or herself to be the same sort of
weenie. Implies that the weenie has put a major investment of time,
effort, and concentration into the area indicated; whether this is good
or bad depends on the hearer's judgment of how the speaker feels about
that area. See also bigot.
