   irc network or on a mud become severe enough that servers briefly
   lose and then reestablish contact, causing messages to be delivered in
   bursts, often with delays of up to a minute. note that this term has
   nothing to do with mainstream "jet lag", a condition which hackers tend
   not to be much bothered by. often shortened to just `lag'.
