The thing about a gweep is that you really have to kill them in early spring if you want the meat to be tender, otherwise, you might as well eat a snork. *** Hey, Bill, what's the deal? Your dictionary couldn't find either gweep or snork, you might want to add them.*** Actually, Bill, it was intended to be friendly ribbing, and not a serious concern. gweep and snork aren't real words, as far as I know.

 * grin * - hey, everybody I advertised Survey Central on a mailing list of old friends (mostly nerdy gweep types). It seemed like a good idea at the time... *** The dictionary is Linux ispell, out of my hands to fix it. *** Well, it is MY DICTIONARY, so I would add words like "gweep". I don't know about "snork" though (perhaps). Defintion of Gweep: a computer nerd, a technical guru, someone who dresses funny and drinks a lot of soda, look in the mirror - this could be you!

What is a gweep? BILL: thanks for the definition. Although I am a software engineer I just looked in the mirror. Nope, I don't see a gweep :)

Uh, if you think this page is cool and comment on it a lot, chances are you're a gweep. You may not be in GweepCo, but that's probably just because you've never met us.

Gweep? I don't think I'm a gweep. I am commander in chief of my own one woman army (thanks AdF), and have rarely ever found any other label that fits be well (they usually bunch up in the arm-pits, are too big in the waist and too tight in the thighs, fit my left foot okay, but pinch the right ankle).

I guess I am just an "eep," since I don't know much about computers but I do dress funny and drink lots of soda.

where is that darn dictionary ... oh - I just got done designing my own email form in MS Outlook for use with Software Releases (I'm the Software Configuration Manager). My coworker said that earns me the Propeller-Head Beanie award of the week. I told him just because I could create forms and design Oracle applications, didn't mean I was going to do any CODING ... I don't care if I did contribute to the Year 2000 COBOL fiasco ... I was a student assistant when I wrote that code, they weren't supposed to KEEP it after I got my grade! Geez, I guess I have to add gweep to my Personal Dictionary now ... ouch, my propeller just bounced off the CRT!!

I think this must have the same meaning as what people where I live (MD) call a "dweeb."

everything but Red M's. I hate red M's. (yes they do taste different, very few people believe me. **gilly: gweep refers to the sound made by certain terminal types *gweep* as opposed to the standard *beep* or whatever. people who were forever near the terminals/computer geeks began to be associated with the sound and were therefor called gweeps.. or I could be completely off base and it has another deeper hidden meaning..
