Phishing
Here's a possible slang term: Phishing. As defined, it would seem an idealmatch for a waker con game; so maybe a phisher is a Virtual con-artist. --IMAGinES 16:04, 10 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Other Ideas for Slang
- Applet - teasing/derogatory term for a Bantam or maybe a dreamer?
- Form Factor?
- Nybble: See Applet.
- Pinging also just has to be in there somewhere.
- Raw and Cooked Data?
- Readme, as in "Oh, come on, waker! Do you need a readme for this? It's easy!"
- Safe Mode?

Kernel
I also like the idea of using the term kernel to refer to a waker's soul. Any thoughts?
