Jargon Coiner (#6)

An irregular feature that aims to give you advance warning of new jargon
that we've just made up.

* STOP MIRAGE: Trying to click on an imaginary Stop button on a program's
toolbar after doing something you didn't want to. Usually caused as the
result of excessive use of Netscape.

* YA-PREFIX: Putting "another" or "yet another" in front of a name or
tacking "YA" in front of an acronym.

Example: "We could ya-prefix this fortune by titling it 'Yet Another
Lame List of Fabricated Jargon'."

* DOMAINEERING: Using a service like Netcraft to determine what operating
system and webserver a particular domain is running.

* NOT-A-SALTINE EXPLANATION: The canned response given to someone who
uses the term "hacker" instead of "cracker".
