whacker: n. [University of Maryland: from hacker] 1. A person, similar to a hacker, who enjoys
exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their
capabilities. Whereas a hacker tends to produce great hacks, a whacker
only ends up whacking the system or program in question. Whackers are
often quite egotistical and eager to claim wizard
status, regardless of the views of their peers. 2. A person who is good at programming quickly, though rather poorly
and ineptly.
