A reference to the jailbreaking community. When someone asks wen eta iso, it really means when is the eta for an ios jailbreak

A phrase used by impatient people in the tx community. ETA stands for "estimated time of arrival" and "wen" means "when"

A meme, originally used by the team that made UnthreadedJB. Back in the old days, there was this iOS jailbreak team that everyone thought was fake and it was sort of jokingly followed as "look at these idiots trying to convince the community that they can do something". They called themselves UnthreadedJB, and they kept meme-ing "eta son".
That team then surprised everyone and actually released a working jailbreak, but for a very limited device/iOS version range... and all of the versions they supported were already supported by redsn0w, so it was completely useless.
Today, "eta son" (or "eta s0n") is used as a way to mock people who beg for jailbreak releases, usually Twitter users. The beggars are often referred to as "wen eta-ers" (sometimes "eta kids" or "eta kiddies") because they constantly ask "WEN??????" (when without the 'h' because usually, the beggars are young/immature and can't spell).
