Line 38:
* [[Names Given to Computers]]: The real-life [[Cthulhu Mythos|Shub-Internet]] was named after a joke in the Jargon File and operated as a server in the Pentagon for a number of years. Obviously a very silly type-6, relating to the Internet's origins as a US Defense Department project.
* [[Neologism]]: The source or earliest documentation of many terms that later entered widespread use.
* [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]:
* [[Recursive Acronym]]: Contains possibly the earliest definition of the concept, along with examples.
* [[Sock Puppet]]: As with ''Astroturf'' above, the File is one of the first, if not the first, formal definition of the usage as we document it.
