twink: /twink/, n. 1. [Berkeley] A clue-repellant user; the next step beyond a clueless
one. 2. [UCSC] A read-only user. Also reported on
the Usenet group soc.motss; may
derive from gay slang for a cute young thing with nothing upstairs (compare
mainstream ‘chick’). 3. On MU* systems that specialize in role-playing, refers to
behavior of a (usually inexperienced) player that either ignores rules or
social convention, or disrupts the natural flow of a scene to show off
super powers. We are informed that in Indian country, the term twink generally
refers to blondes into generic ‘Native American
spirituality’. Signs include Indian jewelry with MADE IN THAILAND
stamped on it, crystals, Clairol black hair, wearing swimsuits to powwows,
Cherokee princess grandmas, a love of Dances with
Wolves, and a fear of AIM and the NCAI. The twink nature
is everywhere.
