Cracker definitions
#1 Dried grain biscuit, usually flat. Sometimes salted.
#2 Any one of various types of fireworks.
#3 Perjorative term for caucasians in the south. Close synonym might be
"white trash".
#4 Software pirate who specializes in removing or defeating copy protection.
This list is by no means exhaustive, I'm sure a proper dictionarry might
turn up a half dozen more. But since there apparently aren't nearly enough
to satisfy some people, why not add some more. After all, there are so few
combinations of phonemes available, and the english language forbids
creating new words anyway.
I won't even bother to comment on why you don't think those other terms
apply. Obviously, they are so far from the truth so often, that the
percentage of incidents for which they don't apply is a perfect 100%.
