Quite poetic, how that word, of all words, has come to have such a nebulous meaning.
Another favourite of mine:
- Hacker
I so prefer (and identity with) the "tinkerer" definition, rather than the popularly accepted "cracker/cyber-criminal" one.
I think I speak on behalf of all H^H^H^HTinkerers: we would like our fucking word back now, please.

And only after you expand it, do you get under (1): > informal an enthusiastic and skilful computer programmer or user ...which isn't exactly it, either. Also, I seem to remember it "google define" used to name the sources, but it doesn't seem to do so for this one. Wikipedia is right on the money, though [1] [2].
