netlag: n. [IRC, MUD] A condition that occurs when the delays in the
IRC network or on a MUD
become severe enough that servers briefly lose and then reestablish
contact, causing messages to be delivered in bursts, often with delays of
up to a minute. (Note that this term has nothing to do with mainstream
“jet lag”, a condition which hackers tend not to be much
bothered by.) Often shortened to just ‘lag’.
