OK, think of it this way... Have you ever heard the term "chihuahua syndrome" where a little guy tries to act all big and badass because he's got issues, when really, if it came down to it, he'd get his head served to him on a platter? Similar concept.
As I said, it's an old term. I really haven't heard it used very much recently in hacker circles. It was around the time the term "phone phreaks" was popular.
Yeesh. Who'd have thought this thread would have turned into the etymology of what I had thought was a commonly-known insult? ;D

Well, I haven't been around all that long. Thus me never hearing the phrase. Sorry for the random tangent.
