tourist: n. 1. [ITS] A guest on the system, especially one who generally logs in
over a network from a remote location for comm mode,
email, games, and other trivial purposes. One step below
luser. ITS hackers often used to spell this
turist, perhaps by some sort of tenuous analogy with
luser (this usage may also have expressed the ITS
culture's penchant for six-letterisms, and/or been some sort of tribute to
Alan Turing). Compare twink,
lurker, read-only user.
2. [IRC] An IRC user who goes from channel to
channel without saying anything; see
channel hopping.
