filk

/filk/ [SF fandom, where a typo for "folk" was adopted as a

new word] A popular or folk song with lyrics revised or

completely new lyrics, intended for humorous effect when

read, and/or to be sung late at night at SF conventions.

There is a flourishing subgenre of these called "computer

filks", written by hackers and often containing rather

sophisticated technical humour. See {double bucky} for an

example. Compare {grilf}, {hing} and {newsfroup}.
