[7] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

ken /ken/ n. 1. unix ken thompson, principal inventor of unix. in the
   early days he used to hand-cut distribution tapes, often with a note
   that read "love, ken". old-timers still use his first name sometimes
   uncapitalized, because it's a login name and mail address in
   third-person reference; it is widely understood on usenet, in
   particular that without a last name `ken' refers only to ken thompson.
   similarly, dennis without last name means dennis ritchie and he is
   often known as dmr. see also demigod, unix. 2. a flaming user.
   this was originated by the software support group at symbolics because
   the two greatest flamers in the user community were both named ken.
