kindergoth 

A Goth Girl who is under age 14. Not a label for a brain-dead follow-my-leader girl - a kindergoth does the whole Goth thing with a touch of irony yet listens to Wagner and reads Gormenghast too.

(Minor alternative use: name used by some immature 'mature' goths to deride young 'new goths'. Kindergoth is used by them as an equivalent to 'newbie' or 'plastic punk').

See also: babygoth, baby-bats, kinderwhore, pixie.

"Gloom County's resident kindergoth reads a lot of Sandman."

nfo 

The .nfo file included with a pirated software package. Those in the know will open this with MS Notepad, as it is actually a plain text file. The nfo usually contains a pirate "crew"'s ascii art logo at the top, which bears a resemblance to raw code to the uninitiated, and gets mangled into gibberish if opened in anything other than Notepad.

Usually associated with: ISO, crew, rar, crack, keygen, rip, reg, courier, 0-day.

Q: "I opened the rar from the 0-day. Many thanks to the courier & crew for this one; glad it's not a big ISO. But where's the serial number? Or do I have to use a keygen to reg this rip?"

A: "Just open up the nfo, newbie. The cereal is in there."
