finn v.

[IRC] To pull rank on somebody based on the amount
of time one has spent on IRC. The term derives from the fact
that IRC was originally written in Finland in 1987. There may be
some influence from the `Finn' character in William Gibson's
seminal cyberpunk novel "Count Zero", who at one point says to
another (much younger) character "I have a pair of shoes older
than you are, so shut up!"
