tourist /n./ [ITS] A guest on the system, especially one who
generally logs in over a network from a remote location for
comm mode, email, games, and other trivial purposes. One step
below luser. Hackers often spell this turist, perhaps by
some sort of tenuous analogy with luser (this also expresses
the ITS culture's penchant for six-letterisms). Compare
twink, read-only user.
