From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
wango /wang'goh/ n. Random bit-level {grovel}ling going on in a system during some unspecified operation. Often used in combination with {mumble}. For example: "You start with the `.o' file, run it through this postprocessor that does mumble-wango -- and it comes out a snazzy object-oriented executable."
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
wank /wangk/ n.,v.,adj. [Columbia University: prob. by mutation from Commonwealth slang v. `wank', to masturbate] Used much as {hack} is elsewhere, as a noun denoting a clever technique or person or the result of such cleverness. May describe (negatively) the act of hacking for hacking's sake ("Quit wanking, let's go get supper!") or (more positively) a {wizard}. Adj. `wanky' describes something particularly clever (a person, program, or algorithm). Conversations can also get wanky when there are too many wanks involved. This excess wankiness is signalled by an overload of the `wankometer' (compare {bogometer}). When the wankometer overloads, the conversation's subject must be changed, or all non-wanks will leave. Compare `neep-neeping' (under {neep-neep}). Usage: U.S. only. In Britain and the Commonwealth this word is _extremely_ rude and is best avoided unless one intends to give offense. Adjectival `wanky' is less offensive and simply means `stupid' or `broken' (this is mainstream in Great Britain).
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Weenix /wee'niks/ n. 1. [ITS] A derogatory term for {{Unix}}, derived from {Unix weenie}. According to one noted ex-ITSer, it is "the operating system preferred by Unix Weenies: typified by poor modularity, poor reliability, hard file deletion, no file version numbers, case sensitivity everywhere, and users who believe that these are all advantages". (Some ITS fans behave as though they believe Unix stole a future that rightfully belonged to them. See {{ITS}}, sense 2.) 2. [Brown University] A Unix-like OS developed for tutorial purposes at Brown University. See `http://www.cs.brown.edu/courses/cs167/weenix.html'. Named independently of the ITS usage.

wonky /wong'kee/ adj. [from Australian slang] Yet another approximate synonym for {broken}. Specifically connotes a malfunction that produces behavior seen as crazy, humorous, or amusingly perverse. "That was the day the printer's font logic went wonky and everybody's listings came out in Tengwar." Also in `wonked out'. See {funky}, {demented}, {bozotic}.
