tourist
 n.

   1. [ITS] A guest on the system, especially one who generally logs in
   over a network from a remote location for {comm mode}, email, games,
   and other trivial purposes. One step below {luser}. ITS hackers often
   used to spell this {turist}, perhaps by some sort of tenuous analogy
   with {luser} (this usage may also have expressed the ITS culture's
   penchant for six-letterisms, and/or been some sort of tribute to Alan
   Turing). Compare {twink}, {lurker}, {read-only user}.

   2. [IRC] An {IRC} user who goes from channel to channel without saying
   anything; see {channel hopping}.
