| Summary | "The Jargon File, Version 2.9.10" by Eric S. Raymond and Guy L. Steele is a collection of hacker slang and terminology compiled during the late 20th century, particularly the early 1990s. This lexicon serves as a comprehensive document about the unique language, culture, and humor found within the hacker community, showcasing the shared folklore and traditions that define it. The beginning of the work outlines its purpose as a compendium of the rich linguistic traditions of hackers. It clarifies that while the document contains some technical information, its primary focus is on informal, fun communication among hackers. The authors explain the unique jargon that forms part of their culture, highlighting how slang fosters community inclusion, identifies hackers, and distinguishes insiders from outsiders. This introductory portion elaborates on the historical development of the Jargon File and its significance in documenting the evolution and nuances of hacker speak.
