Specifically, the link to "The Story of Mel, a Real Programmer,"
<http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/t/TheStoryofMel.html>
is both hilarious and informative. There are lots of other fun and
informative links, but I'll let you browse the lexicon yourself - just
don't start when you've got work to do, 'cause you could spend several
hours bouncing from one hyperlinked entry to another - I know I did when I
first ran across the jargon file.
BTW, this whole Hackers' dictionary can be purchased in book form as well:
