luser /loo'zr/ A {user}; especially one who is also
a {loser}. ({luser} and {loser} are pronounced identically.)
This word was coined around 1975 at {MIT}.
Under {ITS}, when you first walked up to a terminal at MIT and
typed Control-Z to get the computer's attention, it printed
out some status information, including how many people were
already using the computer; it might print "14 users", for
example. Someone thought it would be a great joke to patch
the system to print "14 losers" instead. There ensued a great
controversy, as some of the users didn't particularly want to
be called losers to their faces every time they used the
computer. For a while several hackers struggled covertly,
each changing the message behind the back of the others; any
time you logged into the computer it was even money whether it
would say "users" or "losers". Finally, someone tried the
compromise "lusers", and it stuck.
Later one of the ITS machines supported "luser" as a
request-for-help command. ITS died the death in mid-1990,
except as a museum piece; the usage lives on, however, and the
term "luser" is often seen in program comments.
See: also {LART}. Compare: {tourist}, {weenie}.
