con: n. [from SF fandom] A science-fiction convention. Not
used of other sorts of conventions, such as professional meetings.
This term, unlike many others imported from SF-fan slang, is widely
recognized even by hackers who aren't fans. "We'd been
corresponding on the net for months, then we met face-to-face at a
con."
