Cyber Glossary

Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.

Spods, like dweebs, are concerned with meeting members of the opposite sex and gaining access to forums such as MUDs where they are unwelcome. They often achieve this end through the use of begged, borrowed, and stolen passwords and codes. see dweeb, MUD.
