  dweeb
       
          An even lower form of life than the {spod}, found in much the
          same habitat as the former.  though more prevailent on {talker
          system}s.  Unlike spods, upon receiving the desired response
          to the question "Are you male or female?", dweebs will then
          engage upon a detailed description of themselves and how
          wonderful they are, often in the hopes of truly impressing the
          other with their "charm" and "wit".  Nearly all dweebs are
          male, but very few actually live up to the image that they
          present.  Dweebs, unfortunately, are often the cause of
          ill-will, and may well bring a bad reputation to the system in
          question.  They are often, however, easy to wind up and can be
          the source of great mirth to the seasoned user.
