philcrissman.com: The Term “Hacker” as Shibboleth

  • mrben · 8 months ago
    Does it count as a shibboleth if you cannot actually distinguish between the groups by the word, only by their understanding of it's meaning?

    Interesting, all the same. :)

    That's a great point. The traditional "Shibboleth" would render group membership obvious simply by it's pronunciation, even in the more modern sense by it's mere use.

    That said, in using of the term "hacker", it's seldom takes very long to see in which sense the speaker/writer is using it, so if not a shibboleth, it seems quite close. A litmus test, perhaps, but shibboleth just sounds far cooler. ;-)
