troglodyte: n. [Commodore] 1. A hacker who never leaves his cubicle. The term gnoll (from Dungeons & Dragons) is also
reported. 2. A curmudgeon attached to an obsolescent computing environment.
The combination ITS troglodyte was
flung around some during the Usenet and email wringle-wrangle attending the
2.x.x revision of the Jargon File; at least one of the people it was
intended to describe adopted it with pride.
