> What is a Luser?
"In Internet slang, a luser (sometimes expanded to local user; also
luzer or luzzer) is a painfully annoying, stupid, or irritating computer
user.[1] It is a portmanteau of "loser" and "user" and is usually
pronounced as "loser".[2] The word luser is often synonymous with lamer.
In hackish, the word luser takes on a broader meaning, referring to any
normal user (in other words not a guru), especially one who is also a
loser. This term can also signify the user as a layman, as opposed to
power user or administrator; for example, end luser. This term is very
popular with technical support staff who have to deal with lusers as
part of their job, often metaphorically employing a LART (Luser Attitude
Readjustment Tool, or "clue-by-four")."
