munchkin: /muhnch'kin/ n. [from the squeaky-voiced little
people in L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz"] A teenage-or-younger
micro enthusiast hacking BASIC or something else equally
constricted. A term of mild derision -- munchkins are annoying but
some grow up to be hackers after passing through a larval stage.
The term urchin is also used. See also wannabee, bitty box.
