gweep
/gweep/ To {hack}, usually at night, or one who does so. At
{WPI}, from 1977 onward, gweeps could often be found at the
College Computing Center punching cards or crashing the
{PDP-10} or, later, the {DEC-20}. The term has survived the
demise of those technologies, however, and is still alive in
late 1991. "I'm going to go gweep for a while. See you in
the morning." "I gweep from 8 PM till 3 AM during the week."
"Gweep" originated as an onomatopeiac term, evoking the sound
of the (once-ubiquitous) {Hazeltine 9000} terminals' bell on
WPI campus.
A gweep is one step above a {fweep}.
