==Vocabulary and neologisms==
{{expand section|date=March 2015}}
The TMRC spawned a unique vocabulary. Compiled in the TMRC Dictionary,<ref name="Dictionary"/> it included terms that later became part of the hacker's [[Jargon File]], such as "[[foo]]", "[[Mung (computer term)|mung]]", and "[[wikt:frob|frob]]". Other substitutions include "orifice" for office (as in later [[Back Orifice]]), "cruft" for garbage, and "hack", meaning an elaborate college prank carried out by MIT students. This last definition is the basis for the term "[[hacker]]".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-05 |title=Hacker {{!}} Definition, Types, & Word Origin {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/hacker |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=web.archive.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250405080744/https://www.britannica.com/topic/hacker |archive-date=2025-04-05}}</ref>
