finn: v. [IRC] To pull rank on somebody based on the amount of
time one has spent on IRC. The term derives from the fact that
IRC was originally written in Finland in 1987. There may be some
influence from the `Finn' character in William Gibson's seminal
cyberpunk novel "Count Zero", who at one point says to another (much
younger) character "I have a pair of shoes older than you are, so
shut up!"
