   muds. the spod has few friends in rl and uses talkers instead,
   finding communication easier and preferable over the net. he has all the
   negative traits of the computer geek without having any interest in
   computers per se. lacking any knowledge of or interest in how networks
   work, and considering his access a god-given right, he is a major
   irritant to sysadmins, clogging up lines in order to reach new muds,
   following passed-on instructions on how to sneak his way onto internet
   "wow it's in america" and complaining when he is not allowed to use
   busy routes. a true spod will start any conversation with "are you male
   or female?" and follow it up with "got any good
   numbers/ids/passwords?" and will not talk to someone physically present
   in the same terminal room until they log onto the same machine that he
   is using and enter talk mode. compare newbie, tourist, weenie,
   twink, terminal junkie, warez d00dz. 2. a backronym for "sole
